Oxytocics are the drugs of varying chemical nature that have the power to excite contractions of uterine muscles. Simultaneously many maternal and fetal dangers are anticipated with the use of oxytocics. Adequate understanding of pharmacology of the drug is necessary for the safe and effective administration of it. The present study was aimed to assess the effect of structured teaching programme on knowledge regarding the use of oxytocics in the induction of labour among staff nurses. The objectives were to assess the level of knowledge of staff nurses regarding the use of oxytocics in the induction of labour, to determine the effect of structured teaching programme on knowledge regarding the use of oxytocics in the induction of labour and to find out the association between level of knowledge and selected demographic variables. Quantitative approach was used in the study. The study was conducted in five hospitals in Ernakulum district. Using convenience sampling technique 50 staff nurses working in labour room was selected for the study. The tools were baseline proforma and structured knowledge questionnaire on use of oxytocics in the induction of labour. The collected data was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The result showed that the mean posttest scores (22.32) was higher than the mean pretest scores (9.24). Paired‘t’ test computed between the pre and posttest level of knowledge scores showed that the p- value (p<0.000) is less than 0.05 level of significance. Hence the study concluded that the structured teaching programm was effective in improving the knowledge of staff nurses. Fisher’s exact test showed that there was no significant association between the pretest knowledge scores and demographic variables among the staff nurses.
