Abstract
Sudden cardiac death is one of the most common cause of mortality worldwide. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation has been used in hospitals for approximately 40 years where the staff nurses are generally the first responders to cardiac arrest and initiate basic life support while waiting for the advanced cardiac life support team to arrive. A quasi-experimental study is done to check the effectiveness of planned teaching programme on knowledge and practice. The result revealed that in quasi-experimental study the pre-test, experimental group consist of research study sample from which 18 (60%) had average knowledge score, 12(40%) had good score and none of students were having below average knowledge score. During pre-test, in control group 20(66.7%) had average knowledge score, 10(33.3%) had good score and none of students were having below average knowledge score. Post-test in control group consists of research study from which 17(56.7%) had average knowledge score and 13 (43.3%) had good knowledge score. During post-test in experimental group there were 9(30%) students who had below average knowledge level.
