Results: The KAP regarding interruption among Pakistani nurses score range (26-123). The means of knowledge attitude and practices respectively 31.2957 ± 7.21229, 33.1478 ± 5.68507, 19.5826 ± 3.86841. the collective mean and standard deviation of knowledge attitude and practice 84.0261 ± 16.76577. correlation statistically significant in KAP (p<0.05). Coefficient of correlation knowledge enhance practices. The combined KAP of respondents was 69%.
Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: Knowledge attitude and practice prime parameters of confirming the quality of understanding and performance. Study concluded that nurses have moderate level of knowledge attitude and practice 69%. The knowledge and attitude positive coefficient correlation, enhance each other. Gender, increased academic qualification, attention of leader and experience correlation with KAP. Experience and age group 10-15 years possess a high degree of knowledge attitude and practice. There is a need for interruption management training moreover requiring leader attention. Basic understating about interruption on a clinical place not considerably efficient. The dependent variable causes a 20% variance in the criterion variable.
