Abstract: Introduction: Nervous system places a role in nearly every aspect of health and wellbeing. Its acts as a control network within the body. The functional unit of Nervous system is called Neurons, which are responsible for the reception and response to the change in internal and external environment. It is a collection of clinical syndrome that manifests as acute inflammatory polyneuropathy. Guillain-Barre Syndrome is caused by the body's immune system attacking the peripheral nerves. The fact that the syndrome usually comes on after an infection (or extremely rarely, after an immunization) has led us to suspect that at a molecular level, some infectious agents look like parts of the nervous system. This causes the immune system to mistake the identity of peripheral nerves, thinking that parts of the nerve are an infection. As a result, the immune system releases antibodies that attack the peripheral nerves. This has motivated the researcher to conduct a study "A Study To Assess The Effectiveness Of Structured Teaching Programme on Knowledge Regarding Gullian barre syndrome among nursing officers multispecialty hospitals at selected Bangalore". Methodology: The researcher has followed pre-experimental one group pre-test post-test design with quantitative approach to assess the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on knowledge regarding GB syndrome among Nursing officers Bangalore. Non probability convenient sampling technique was used to select the subjects. The sample included 60 nursing officers. Data was collected through structured questionnaire by administering the questionnaire to the samples. After the pre-test, structured teaching programme on GB syndrome was administered on the same day to the participants. On seventh day post-test was given using the same questionnaire to evaluate the effectiveness of structured teaching programme. Collected data was analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics; the level of significance was set at 0.05 levels. Results: The highest pre-test mean percentage in the aspect of general concept was 4.86 with a SD of 1.50. The lowest pre-test mean percentage in the aspect of causes and classification was 2.47 with a SD of 1.18. The highest post-test mean percentage in the aspect of general concept was 9.35 with a SD of 0.79. The lowest post-test mean percentage in the aspect of clinical features was 5.13 with a SD of 13.1. The enhancement was found between mean pre-test and post-test was 12.98 with mean percentage of 43.3 percentage with a SD of 3.25. Interpretation and conclusion: Further, effectiveness of STP was tested by inferential statistics using the paired 't' test. The mean difference between the pre-test and post-test knowledge score of teachers was found to be significant (t (56)= 3.06) at 0.05 levels. This confirms that structured teaching program is found to be an effective strategy in improving the knowledge of Nursing Officers regarding GB syndrome. Hence the research hypothesis H1 was accepted.
