Abstract
Background: The main objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of knowledge among faculties, nursing officers and students regarding monitoring the functions of ventilator and charting, monitoring of humidifier, its advantages and disadvantages, monitoring and interpretation of ventilator alarms and documentation.
Methods: An exploratory descriptive design was employed. Thirty participants (including nursing officers from Vydehi Hospital, faculty and M.Sc. nursing students) from Vydehi Institute of Nursing Science and Research Centre constituted the study sample. Researcher developed questionnaire was used to determine the effectiveness of teaching among 30 participants regarding monitoring the functions of ventilator and charging, monitoring of humidifier, its advantages and disadvantages, monitoring and interpretation of ventilator alarms and documentation. Data were analyzed using parametric statistics to identify the effectiveness of continuing nursing education (CNE).
Results: While faculty, nursing officers and student’s evaluation has always been a major part of universitybased nursing programs, it must be approached more analytically, objectively, and comprehensively to ensure that all participants receive the fairest treatment possible and that the teaching-learning process of CNE is enhanced.
Conclusion: Educators, faculties, nursing officers and students stressed that systematic and continuous evaluation as well as staff development should be the primary goals for the faculty evaluation process. The ultimate goals are the improvement of knowledge by CNE.

Evaluation Questionnaire
Results
Quantitative data were analyzed using parametric statistics to determine the effectiveness of teaching among faculty, nursing officers and students regarding monitoring the functions of ventilator and charting, monitoring of humidifier, its advantages and disadvantages, monitoring and interpretation of ventilator alarms and documentation. Content analysis was used to Pretest-Posttest questionnaire. The study findings are based on pre-test and post-test scores. On the question of how teaching effectiveness is being evaluated and how it should be evaluated, 27 participants were scored by above questionnaire using Pertest and Post-test. Pre-test score was <50%, but after CNE participants had scored >50%.
Conclusion
The nursing profession seems to be increasingly concerned with evaluation as part of its accountability. The evaluation of teaching effectiveness is a complex process and will never be an easy task nor perceived to be a totally fair endeavor for any nursing department. The advantages and limitations inherent in any evaluation system are intensified by the variety of roles and responsibilities assumed by educators and the data collection must be based on criteria.
The development of a CNE has one of its important objectives to enhance knowledge and stimulate all members to recognize the seriousness of knowledge. It is also important that we continue to develop better and more CNE for effectiveness of learning and knowledge.
