A study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of structured teaching program (STP) on knowledge regarding bleeding within, after 20 weeks and during postpartum period (PPP) among Staff Nurses (SN). A quantitative approach with one group pre-test (PT) post-test (PST) design was used in 30 sample by non probability purposive sampling technique. The data was collected and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The result of the study showed that 60% of SN had moderate knowledge 26.67% had poor knowledge and 13.33% had good knowledge during the PT and significant changes occurred during PST as 86.67% had excellent knowledge and 13.33% had good knowledge. The Structured Knowledge Questionnaire (SKQ) was used to assess knowledge level of SN regarding Obstetrics Haemorrhage (OH). The mean PST knowledge score is significantly higher than mean PT knowledge score. The calculated â??tâ?? value (â??tâ??=20.02, p< 0.01) is greater than the table value 2.009 at 0.05 level of significance in all sections. The study also found that there is significant association between PT knowledge scores and selected demographic variables. Thus the study suggested that STP is effective in improving the knowledge of SN regarding OH.
