Abstract Effectiveness of Structured Teaching Programme on Knowledge Regrading Prevention of Uterine Prolapse Among Women. Material and methods: The research was conducted using Quantitative research approach. The sample were collected using Purposive sampling technique and pre-experimental research design (One group pre-test post-test design) was used in this study. A total 60 sample were selected to be a part of this study. The instrument used had 2 sections in it. The first section consists of 10 Demographic variable questions to obtain baseline data of every individual participating in the study and the second section contain 18 structured questions of knowledge regarding prevention of uterine prolapse among women.

The mean score increased from 30 to 42.42 which shows a marked difference of 12.42 and standard deviation also increased from 3.8 to 4.2 after the administration of STP. The paired “t” test value at -17.10 was significant at P<0.05 level. It indicated that there was effectiveness of STP on increasing level of knowledge on prevention of uterine prolapse.
