Abstract: The study attempted to assess the effectiveness of plan teaching program in terms of knowledge and skill regarding care of craniotomy wound among staff nurses working in selected hospitals at Guwahati, Assam. It adopted a pre-experimental one group pre-test post-test design. According to the study, the calculated ?t? value between pre-test knowledge and post-test knowledge (t=33.35, p=0.000) was higher than the tabulated ?t? value [t=2.02, df=49] and is thus statistically significant at 0.05 level of significance. In addition, the calculated ?t? value between pre-test skill and post-test skill (t = -38.77, p = 0.000) was found higher than the tabulated ?t? value [t = 2.02, df = 49] which is statistically significant at 0.05 level of significance. Also, the calculated chi square value of knowledge with area of work and previous experience in care of craniotomy wound knowledge was found statistically significant at 0.05 level of significance. The study concluded that plan teaching program on care of craniotomy wound among staff nurses improved the knowledge and skill of staff nurses regarding care of craniotomy wound.
