Surabhimol S, Deepa Merin Kuriakose


Abstract: The present study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of interventional programme on neck disability among patients undergone thyroidectomy in Govt. Medical College Hospital, Kottayam. A quantitative approach was used for the study. The study was theoretically supported by Betty Neumans? system model. A total of 60 patients, 30 each in control and experimental group, were selected for the study using non probability purposive sampling technique. The data were collected using socio personal and clinical data sheet, Neck Disability Index (modified). Interventional programme was provided to experimental group and the control group received routine postoperative care. Interventional programme was provided from the first post operative day and continued till14th day. Post test were conducted on 4th and 14th post operative day. The data were analyzed by frequency, percentage and Mann Whitney U test. The results showed that during first post test 82.33% of subjects in the control group and 100% of subjects in the experimental group had moderate neck disability and mild neck disability respectively. During second post test 63.33% of subjects in the control group and 66.67% of subjects in the experimental group had moderate and no neck disability. The U value showed that the interventional programme was effective in improving neck disability. The researcher concluded that even though the interventional programme does not cost extra money to patients, these interventions are helpful for improving their comfort and preventing complications in post operative periods.
