Findings depict that mean post-test knowledge score is 82.8% and pre-test knowledge score is 23.1%. The dispersion in the pre-test score (SD=3.3) is more than post-test score (0.5). Hence the difference of pre-test and post-test in overall percent knowledge gain is 59.7%. Therefore, it is not benefitted of structured teaching programme.
