A quasi-experimental study was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of a Structured Teaching Programme (STP) on the level of knowledge regarding road safety rules among selected fourth-year B.Sc. Nursing students at the College of Nursing, Madurai Medical College, Madurai, Tamil Nadu.1 The primary objective of the investigation was to assess baseline knowledge and measure the statistical significance of knowledge enhancement following the educational intervention.1 Utilizing a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental one-group pre-test post-test research design, a sample of 32 senior nursing students was selected through non-probability consecutive sampling.1 A validated 20-item Structured Knowledge Questionnaire was administered to assess cognitive grasp of road safety regulations, speed limits, and traffic signs.1 The baseline pre-test assessment revealed that 59% (19) of the participants possessed above-average knowledge, while 41% (13) demonstrated average knowledge, with none scoring below average.1 Following the delivery of the Structured Teaching Programme, the post-test evaluation demonstrated that 100% (32) of the participants achieved above-average knowledge scores.1 Statistical analysis using a paired -test yielded a calculated -value of , which significantly exceeded the critical table value of at and a significance level of .1 The findings confirm that the Structured Teaching Programme is highly effective in upgrading safety awareness, providing a robust empirical foundation for integrating traffic safety and pre-hospital trauma education into modern nursing curricula.
