        abstract = {Background: Visual infusion phlebitis (VIP) is a common complication of intravenous therapy that can affect patient outcomes. Adequate knowledge among nursing students is essential for early identification and prevention.
Objectives: To assess the effectiveness of a planned teaching program on the knowledge regarding VIP score among final-year nursing students.
Methods: A quasi-experimental design was adopted. Seventy final-year nursing students from selected colleges were selected through convenience sampling. A structured questionnaire assessed pre-test and post-test knowledge. The intervention consisted of a planned teaching program on VIP score. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, paired t-test, and chi-square test for associations.
Results: Pre-test knowledge indicated that 56.56% of students had average knowledge, 33.78% had poor knowledge, and only 9.66% had good knowledge. Post-test results showed a significant improvement, with 96.67% achieving excellent knowledge. Paired t-test revealed a statistically significant difference between pre-test and post-test scores (t = 37.85, p < 0.001). Gender and previous knowledge were significantly associated with post-test scores (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: The planned teaching program was highly effective in improving knowledge regarding VIP score among final-year nursing students. Integrating such educational interventions into nursing curricula can enhance patient care outcomes.},
