Introduction: Patient safety focuses on preventing avoidable harm through structured systems, standardized practices, and patient involvement. It promotes transparency and error reduction to ensure safe, effective care. Global bodies like WHO advocate for stronger safety measures, especially in high-risk settings. Methodology: A quasi-experimental one group pretest post test design was used. A total of 75 staff nurses were selected through non probability convenient sampling technique from the selected hospitals. Data were collected using semi-structured questionnaire and self-administered questionnaire to assess knowledge. The structured teaching program on International Patient Safety Goals (IPSG) was conducted followed by post-test after seven days. Results: Mean knowledge score in pretest was 7.46±3.11 and mean percentage of knowledge score in pretest was 24.88±10.38. After the structure teaching program, mean knowledge score in post-test was 21.92±3.49 and mean percentage of knowledge score in post test was 73.06±11.63 and the mean difference was 14.45±3.27. The tabulated value was 1.98. The calculated ‘t’ value i.e. 38.24 which is much higher than the tabulated value. Conclusion: The study concluded that the post test knowledge score was improved after implementation of structured teaching program. Structured teaching program plays important role in improving the knowledge.
