Cancer is the leading cause of death worldwide, it accounted for 7.4 million deaths (around 13% of all deaths) in 2004. About 30% of cancer deaths can be prevented. In 2005, cancer killed approximately 826,000 people in India of which 519,000 were under the age of 70. This study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on knowledge regarding artificial nutrition for terminally ill cancer patients among third year B.Sc. nursing students in a selected nursing college. The research design chosen for the study was one group pre-test post-test design and the research approach was an evaluative and an educative approach.. The data was collected through the tool which is prepared by the investigator. The sample size consists of 60 third-year B.Sc. nursing students. The mean difference between the pre-test and post-test scores is 3.9. A paired sample t-test was conducted to determine the significance of this difference, yielding a t-value of 9.480 and a p-value of 0.001. Since the p-value is less than 0.05, the results indicate a statistically significant increase in the knowledge scores of the students after the intervention. This significant improvement underscores the effectiveness of the structured teaching program in enhancing the students' understanding of artificial nutrition for terminally ill cancer patients. Study concluded that structured teaching program effectively enhanced nursing students' knowledge on artificial nutrition for terminally ill cancer patients. Educational institutions should incorporate such programs and consider demographic factors for better learning outcomes. Engaging families, promoting research, and providing practical training are crucial for preparing nursing students to deliver high-quality care to terminally ill patients..
