The objectives of the study were to: a) to assess the pre-test level of knowledge regarding chemotherapy and chemotherapy administration protocol among general nursing and midwifery students b) to assess the post-test level of knowledge regarding chemotherapy and chemotherapy administration protocol among final year general nursing and midwifery students c) to determine the effectiveness of structured teaching program regarding chemotherapy and chemotherapy administration protocol d) to determine the association between pre-test level of knowledge with selected socio – demographic variables. An evaluative approach was used with one group pretestposttest only design. Non-probability convenient sampling technique was used. Sample size was 50. The investigator assessed final year general nursing and midwifery student’s knowledge using structured knowledge questionnaire regarding chemotherapy and chemotherapy administration protocol. After conducting the pre-test, structured teaching programme was introduced to the final year general nursing and midwifery students. Post-test was conducted on seventh day using the same research tool. It is found that the calculated t value is greater than table value.
