Introduction: Violence against women is a serious public health problem globally, with almost one-third of women suffering from physical or sexual violence in their lifetime. To ensure comprehensive care for survivors, Government of India implemented One Stop Crisis Centers (OSCCs) under Nirbhaya Fund, providing medical, legal, psychosocial, and shelter services under same roof. Nurses are an integral part of operation of these centers; yet, research indicates limited knowledge and awareness amongst nursing students regarding OSCC services.
Aim and Objective: To create awareness using planned teaching programme regarding One Stop Crises Centre among nursing students.
Materials and Methods: A pre-experimental research study was conducted using total enumeration sampling technique to select 184 nursing students. Self-structured knowledge questionnaire was administered to assess pretest knowledge of students, following administration of planned teaching regarding OSCC and post-test-1was done post-intervention and post-test 2 ten days after. The data was analysed descriptively and inferentially using SPSS 22
Result: Findings revealed significant improvements in knowledge from pre-test mean score (9.793) to post-test 1 (17.798) and post-test 2 (18.472). There is evident rise in the number of "good" scorers from pretest (7) to post-test 1 (122) and post-test 2 (134). The analysis of knowledge scores in relation to academic year revealed a Chi-square value of 10.544 and a p-value of 0.032, indicating a statistically significant association (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: The teaching program was found effective in creating awareness and knowledge regarding OSCC among nursing students. Incorporation of such programmes can enhance readiness of future nurses to function as first responders and advocates for survivors of violence, hence support better utilization and functioning of OSCCs.
