teaching programme on knowledge regarding management of COVID-19 in pregnancy and childbirth among nurses in selected Hospitals,

the study. The samples were collected using non-probability purposive sampling technique from 100 nurses, who were doing government job in
selected Hospitals, Goalpara, Assam and who fullls the inclusive criteria. Structured questionnaire was used to explore the effectiveness of
Structured Teaching Programme on knowledge regarding management of COVID-19 in pregnancy and childbirth Data analysis was Result:
done by calculating mean, standard deviation, chi square test and t-test. A total of 100 nurses, It was found that in the pre-test, majority i.e.
77(77%), 21(21%), only two (2%) had moderate, inadequate and adequate knowledge respectively. In post-test, majority i.e. 56(56%),
44(44%), 0% had adequate, moderate and inadequate knowledge respectively. The mean knowledge score in pre-test and post-test was 17.15
and 23.29 with Standard deviation of 2.79 and 2.69 respectively. The calculated paired 't' test value is 20.960 was found to be statistically highly
signicant at p<0.001 level. This shows that there was signicant difference between the pretest and posttest scores of knowledge, which clearly
