Abstract: Tuberculosis presents a significant global health concern as it is a highly contagious bacterial illness primarily afflicting the lungs. It poses a substantial public health challenge, especially in low- and middle-income nations, owing to its capacity for rapid transmission and its substantial toll on global health in terms of sickness and death. The imperative to address and eliminate TB remains a top priority within the realm of international healthcare. Thus, I conducted this study to assess the effectiveness of a structured teaching program regarding management of tuberculosis on the knowledge among staff nurses. A structured knowledge questionnaire was used to collect the pre-test and post-test data. The result of the study showed a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test knowledge scores regarding management of tuberculosis. Therefore, it can be concluded that the structured teaching program is effective in enhancing the knowledge of staff nurses.
