WHO states that stroke is the second leading cause of death globally. Immediate treatment is required to minimise the brain damage and improving patient outcome [2]. Hence the study was conducted to assess and enhance the knowledge level on care of patients with cerebrovascular accidents among the staff nurses. Objective of the study: 1. To evaluate the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on knowledge regarding care of patient with cerebrovascular accident among staff nurses.2. To determine the association between the pre-test knowledge scores regarding care of patient with cerebrovascular accident among staff nurses and with their selected socio demographic variables. Material and method: Pre experimental, one group pre test post test design was chosen to conduct a study at selected hospital with 60 samples based on simple random sampling technique. data was collected by using self-structured knowledge questionnaires, structured teaching and the post test was done after 7 days by using the same tool. Results: the collected data were analysed the result revealed that the mean post test knowledge score [ 22] was higher than the mean pretest knowledge score [11.8] and the mean difference of 10.2.
