Abstract The study was conductedto assess the effectiveness of planned teaching programme in terms of knowledge gain regarding anthropometric measurement among B.Sc. Nursing 3rd Year Students at Columbia College of Nursing, Raipur (C.G.). An evaluative approach and a pre-experimental one group pre-test and post- test research design were adopted for the study. Data was collected using purposive sampling technique among 40 B.Sc. Nursing 3rd Year Students. Self-structured questionnaire were used to assess the
effectiveness of structured teaching programme regarding anthropometric measurement in terms of knowledge gain. Analysis and interpretation were done according to the objectives of the study. The data was analyzed by calculating percentage, mean and mean percentage, standard deviation, T-test and bar diagram was used to depict the finding. 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. Hence the difference between pre-test and post-test knowledge score was statically tested by applying student’s paired T-test and it is found to be statistically
significant p≥0.9. The study shows that majority of the subjects were having good and excellent knowledge after structured teaching programme.
