ABSTRACT
Background: The nurses who are caring for pregnant and labouring women should be knowledgeable of pharmaceuticals agents that help with labour initiation, labour augmentation, and labour that may be postponed or retarded. Modern drugs have greatly alleviated the risk of childbirth. It is crucial to understand the problems associated with drug use throughout pregnancy and the puerperium. The primary goal of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of Structured Teaching Programme on Knowledge Regarding Selected Obstetric Drugs among Nursing Officers of KCGMCH, Karnal, Haryana.

Finding and Conclusion: Findings showed that, in pre-test, 77.5% of nursing officers had good knowledge, 20% had average and only 2.5% had very good knowledge regarding selected obstetric drugs. In case of post-test, 92.5% of nursing officers had very good knowledge, 5% had good and 2.5% had average knowledge regarding selected obstetric drugs. Study results also showed that there was no significant association between post-test knowledge score with selected socio-demographic variables. The study concluded that subjects didn’t possess adequate knowledge in pre- test but after structured teaching program knowledge improved among nursing officers.
