abstract
The study was conducted by using evaluative research approach and one group pretest research design. Purposive sampling technique was used to select 60 Staff Nurses at selected hospitals in Bhopal, based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. A pilot study was conducted with 6 Staff Nurses before starting the main study. Base line data was collected by using demographic sheet. Structured questionnaire was used to assess the knowledge of Staff Nurses regarding Human Milk Banking. The collected data were analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings shows that mean pre-test knowledge score (14.4) and the post-test knowledge score (18.16). Posttest knowledge score is higher than the pre-test knowledge score. Than pre-test score (SD=4.45) is higher than that of post-test score (SD=2.94) and computed paired value shows there is significant difference between mean pre-test knowledge score (t=16.68).This indicates that planned teaching programme is effective in increasing knowledge score of staff nurse regarding human milk banking.
