Nursing students at selected nursing colleges, Bangalore. In the recent report the rate of colostomy is increasing worldwide. According to researchers approximately 100, 000 case ostomates in every year. There are several studies which have shown that the nurses have lack of knowledge regarding colostomy and its management. Therefore the objective of the study was to assess the knowledge of final B. Sc.

Methods: An evaluate approach with pre experimental, one group pre test post test Research design was selected and a convenient sampling technique was used to select the samples for evaluating the effectiveness of planned teaching programme on knowledge regarding colostomy and its management, among 60 Final year B, sc Nursing student at selected college Bangalore. Pre test and planned teaching was administered, and on the 8th day post test was conducted using the same questionnaire. The duration of study was one month which was conducted in the month of May 2021. Results: The results of the study revealed that in the pre test, among 60 Pre test knowledge score. Majority of 49 (81.67%) of the final year BSc Nursing students had moderate knowledge, 6 (10%) of the final year BSc Nursing students had adequate knowledge and 5 (8.33%) had inadequate knowledge level regarding Colostomy and its management among final year BSc Nursing students at selected colleges, Bangalore.
