Milka Virendrakumar Chopade

Abstract: Varicose veins, characterized by swollen, twisted, and sometimes painful veins filled with abnormal blood collections, pose a significant health concern, particularly for individuals who spend prolonged periods on their feet. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of an informational booklet in enhancing knowledge about varicose veins and their prevention among staff nurses. A quantitative evaluative survey with a pre - experimental one - group pretest - posttest control group design was employed. Non - probability purposive sampling selected 60 staff nurses. The reliability of the tool was tested, and the pretest was conducted using a structured questionnaire. An informational booklet was administered, followed by a posttest after 7 days. Data were analyzed using mean, median, mode, standard deviation, range, paired t - test, and chi - square test.
