-Incentive spirometry is a method of deep breathing that provides visual feedback to encourage the patient to inhale slowly and deeply to maximise lung inflation and prevent or reduce atelectasis. In addition to preventing post operative pulmonary complications, the Incentive spirometer can also help patients who have chronic lung diseases. Pulmonary complications are the most frequent cause of postoperative morbidity and mortality.Every surgical patient is at a risk of developing postoperative pulmonary complications if not managed properly. Incentive spirometry (IS) is a technique that is both effective and appropriate for prophylactic bronchial hygiene. The nurses as well as nursing students are in close contact with the patients in the clinical areas. So it is important for the nursing students to know the proper technique of incentive spirometry which they can teach to patients to reduce the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications. The study aimed at assessing the level of knowledge and skill regarding Incentive spirometry among B.Sc nursing students before the administration of Skill Training Programme (Pre – test), evaluating the effectiveness of skill training programme by comparing pre and post test score, to determine the relationship between knowledge and skill gain and to associate the pre test knowledge and skill score with selected demographic variables (age, gender, academic qualification, residence, parental income, basic concept of incentive spirometry, source of information). The study was conducted on Forty 3 rd year B.Sc nursing students of Bibi halima college of nursing and medical technology who were selected by total enumerative sampling technique. A structured questionnaire and checklist was used to collect the data. After the pre test, Skill training programme was conducted. Post test was done after five days. The collected data was analysed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings of the study revealed that the Skill training programme administered by the researcher was effective in enhancing the knowledge and skill of nursing students regarding incentive spirometry as the mean post test knowledge and skill score of subjects was significantly higher than mean pretest knowledge and skill score. The mean pre test knowledge score was 17.23 which increased to 37.45 in the posttest showing an average increase of 20.23.while as the mean prê test skill score was 8.10 which increased to 19.20 showing an average increase of 11.10 (p < 0.001). Further, a statistically significant association was found between the pre test knowledge and skill score of subjects with some selected demographic variables i.e, residence and basic concept of incentive spirometry (p < 0.05 ) while as no association was found with other demographic variables i.e, age, gender, academic qualification, parental income and source of information (p >0.05).
