Introduction: Unconsciousness more appropriately referred to as loss of consciousness or lack of consciousness. Glasgow coma scale (GCS) is a widely used scoring system to assess coma and impaired consciousness. Patient with a score of 8 or less is moderate and score of 13-15 are mild unconscious. Objectives:1) to assess the pre test knowledge score. 2) to administer Structured Teaching Programme on knowledge regarding sensory stimulation in unconscious patients. 3) to assess the post test knowledge score. 4) to evaluate the effectiveness of structured teaching programme among staff nurses regarding sensory stimulation in unconscious patients. 5) to determine the association between pretest knowledge score and selected demographic variables. Methods and materials: The research approach used was evaluative approach. The research design selected for the study was a quasi- experimental design. Setting of the study: The setting was selected hospitals. The sample includes staff nurses; sampling technique was used simple random sampling. Description of tools: A structured knowledge questionnaire method was used to collect data from sample. Result and discussion: The analysis of mean, S.D., and mean percentage of the knowledge score in pre-test and post-test revealed that the mean percentage in pre-test was 14.98% where as in post – test 18.20% . This shows that the in structure teaching programme on knowledge regarding sensory stimulation in unconscious patients was effective.
