Chi-Square values were computed to find out the relationship between knowledge with the selected variables. The overall pre test and post test mean knowledge was found to be 31.46 and 43.56% respectively indicating the enhancement knowledge as 12% paired‘t’ test shows statistical significance at 5% level (p 0.05) shows there is a strong association between the pre and post test level of knowledge of experimental group that establishing the impact of structured teaching programme on infection control practices among staff nurses
