Abstract Background: Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is a serious vascular condition characterized by the formation of a thrombus in the deep veins, most commonly in the lower extremities. It is a major component of venous thromboembolism (VTE), which includes both DVT and pulmonary embolism (PE). DVT is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, particularly among hospitalized and bedridden patients. Immobility, venous stasis, endothelial injury, and hypercoagulability collectively described by Virchow’s triad are the principal mechanisms underlying thrombus formation. (1) Globally, venous thromboembolism is recognized as a leading preventable cause of hospital-related death. According to estimates from the World Health Organization, cardiovascular diseases account for approximately 17.9 million deaths annually, and thrombotic disorders form a significant proportion of circulatory system complications.(2) Studies suggest that the annual incidence of VTE ranges from 1–2 per 1,000 population, increasing sharply with age and hospitalization.(3) Hospitalized and immobilized patients are at particularly high risk, especially those admitted for surgery, trauma, stroke, cancer, or prolonged bed rest. Structured Teaching Programmes (STPs) are systematic educational interventions designed to enhance knowledge, skills, and clinical practice through organized instruction and reinforcement. Research has demonstrated that educational interventions significantly improve healthcare professionals’ knowledge and compliance with DVT prevention protocols by equipping nursing interns with updated evidence-based knowledge and practical guidance, STPs can strengthen preventive practices and reduce DVT-related complications. Considering the high incidence of DVT among immobilized patients and the crucial role of nursing interns in preventive care, there is a need to assess the effectiveness of structured educational strategies. Therefore, the present study aims to assess the effectiveness of a Structured Teaching Programme on knowledge regarding prevention of Deep Vein Thrombosis in bedridden patients among nursing interns in selected nursing colleges at Kuppam, Chittoor District, Andhra Pradesh, with the objective of improving patient safety and quality of care. Methods: a Quantitative pre-experimental study was conducted in December 2025 among 96 nursing interns studying in PES College of Nursing at Kuppam samples were selected by using convenient sampling technique, informed consent were taken before the study nursing interns knowledge were assessed by using structured self-administered questionnaire. Results: In regards age Majority of them 59 (61.5%) of the nursing interns were belongs to age group between 22-23 years old, In regards Residential Status Majority 77 (80.2%) of them are hostler, In regards Marital Status Majority 92 (95.8%) of the nursing interns are Unmarried, In regards Religion Majority 51 (53.1%) of the nursing interns were belongs to Christian the pre-test knowledge reveals that 16 (16.7%) nursing interns had adequate knowledge, 39 (40.6 %) were had Moderate Knowledge, 36 (37.5%) were had inadequate Knowledge and 5(5.2%) were had poor knowledge, the post- test knowledge reveals that majority 83(86.5%) of the nursing interns were had adequate knowledge, 10(10.4%) were had in Moderate Knowledge, 3 (3.1%) were had in adequate Knowledge and no one in the level of poor knowledge, Comparison of pre-test and post- test mean, SD “t” and p-values of knowledge scores among nursing interns. shows that the pre-test knowledge mean were 26.65 with a SD of 4.162 and in post-test knowledge mean were 15.10 with a SD of 5.901 the association of pre-test scores of knowledges on prevention of deep vein thrombosis in bed ridden patients among nursing interns with their selected demographic variables Religion was significant at the level of p<0.001 respectively. Other variables such as Age, Residential status and Marital Status were not significant Conclusion: The present study assessed the knowledge regarding prevention of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) among nursing interns at PES College of Nursing, Kuppam. The findings revealed that most of the nursing interns initially had moderate to inadequate knowledge about DVT prevention in bedridden patients. After the educational intervention, a significant improvement in knowledge was observed among the participants. The majority of nursing interns achieved an adequate level of knowledge in the post-test compared to the pre-test. This indicates that the teaching programme was effective in improving their understanding of DVT prevention. Adequate knowledge among nursing interns is essential for early identification and prevention of complications in bedridden patients. The study
Also showed that religion had a statistically significant association with the pre-test knowledge scores. However, other demographic variables such as age, residential status, and marital status were not significantly associated. The results highlight the importance of continuous education and training for nursing interns. Therefore, structured educational programmes can play a vital role in enhancing knowledge and improving patient care practices related to DVT prevention.
