ABSTRACT
The aim of the study was to assess the effectiveness of Structured Teaching Programme (STP) on knowledge of staff nurses regarding coronary angiogram. The study involved one group pre-test and post-test using pre-experimental design, with non-probability sampling technique in which purposive sampling method was used. Sixty staff nurses working at Kempegowda Institute of Health Science and Research Center were taken as samples (n=60) and requested to mark the structured knowledge questionnaire followed by implementation of STP on the same day and post-test conducted on the 15th day, using the same structured knowledge questionnaire to find out the effectiveness. The results revealed that in posttest there was a significant gain in knowledge of staff nurses with a mean of 23.83+ 2.21 compared to pretest mean of 17.90+ 2.79 and the improvement was statistically significant (p<0.05). There was no significant association found in relation to any of the demographic variables. The overall findings of the study clearly showed that the STP was significantly effective in improving the knowledge of staff nurses regarding coronary angiogram.
