        abstract = {Background of the study: Diabetes is a chronic condition that leads to various complications, with diabetic foot disease being one of the most significant concerns.1 An estimated 537 million persons globally, aged 20 to 79, have diabetes (10.5% of all adults in this age range). Globally, the number of persons with diabetes will rise from 643 million in 2030 to 783 million in 2045.Among the strategies available for managing these complications, Buerger Allen Exercise (BAE) has shown potential in improving circulation and alleviating symptoms like pain and neuropathy in diabetic patients.2 The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of structured teaching module (STM) on BAE among diabetic patients residing at selected urban region by using specially designed questionnaire. Objective: The objective of the study was to assess the effect of structured teaching module (STM) on BAE among diabetic patients. A quantitative approach and quasi experimental design was used to carry out this study. The diabetic patients were selected by purposive sampling technique where data was collected by using Structured Interview Schedule (SIS). The analysis was done by using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: The majority of diabetic patients in the age group of 25-38 years were 44% in experimental group and 45.3% in control group whereas >49 years 12% in the experimental group and 8% in the control group. The majority of male 50.7% in experimental group and 53.3% in control group whereas 49.3% female in the experimental group and 46.7% in the control group. The majority of 58.7% were married in experimental group and 65.3% in the control group. Whereas 0% were unmarried in experimental group and 2.7% were in control group. The majority 40% were taken secondary education in experimental group and 33.3% in the control group. Whereas 2.7% were illiterate in experimental group and 10.7% were in control group. The majority 50.7% were employment in experimental group and 60% in the control group. Whereas 2.7% were private employee in experimental group and 2.7% were in control group. The majority 44% were belongs to nuclear family in experimental group and 41.3% in control group whereas 18.7% belongs to extended family in experimental group and 20% in the control group. The majority of 30.7% having family income below 10000 Rs in experimental group and 26.7% in control group whereas 17.3% having family income 15001-20000 Rs in experimental group and 20% in the control group. There was a significant difference between pre-test knowledge score and post-test knowledge score of diabetic patients regarding buerger allen exercise as a value of t =22.77 p=0.045 where <005. It reveals that the self-interview module what effective in enhancing the knowledge of diabetic patients regarding BAE. also, there was no significant association between the knowledge score and demographical variables Conclusion: Analysis of data showed that there is significant difference between pre-test and post-test knowledge. Hence, structured teaching module has significantly brought out their improvement in the knowledge on BAE among diabetic patients.},
