Abstract: Aim of the study: The study aims to find out the effect of self-instructional module on telenursing among staff nurses. Problem statement: What is the Effect of Self-Instructional Module (SIM) on Telenursing among Staff Nurses Working in Selected Tertiary Care Hospitals at Vidarbha Region, Maharashtra? Primary objective: The primary objective was used to find out the effect of self-instructional module on telenursing among staff nurses. Secondary objectives: 1) To assess the knowledge of staff nurses regarding telenursing in experimental and comparison group before intervention. 2) To assess the knowledge of staff nurses regarding telenursing in experimental and comparison group after intervention. 3) To find out the effect of SIM on telenursing among staff nurses. 4) To find out the association between post-test knowledge scores and selected demographic variables of staff nurses in experimental group.
