        abstract = {Background of the study the intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) has long been a fundamental element of mechanical circulatory support for patients with compromised cardiac function, particularly in critical care environments. Over the years, advancements in IABP technology have sought to enhance its safety and efficacy. Innovations such as sheath less insertion techniques, various balloon diameters, percutaneous insertion methods and fiber-optic IABPs have all contributed to a reduction in procedural complexity and an improvement in patient outcomes. However, despite these advancements, IABP-related complications continue to pose a significant concern, often resulting in adverse prognoses for critically ill patients. Complications associated with IABP use such as vascular injuries, bleeding, infection and thromboembolic events can undermine the potential benefits of this device. This is particularly troubling, because these complications may not only hinder patient recovery but also escalate the burden on healthcare resources due to extended hospital stays and additional interventions. Although understanding the prevalence and associated risk factors of these complications is critical, it remains essential for enhancing clinical practices and improving patient outcomes. By providing an updated overview of the risks tied to this intervention, the study aims to inform clinical decision-making; however, it also strives to guide future research in optimizing the safety and effectiveness of IABP therapy. Ensuring patient safety during healthcare delivery constitutes a fundamental human right. Nurses, as primary caregivers, are instrumental in upholding and enhancing patient safety by identifying, managing, and reporting potential risks to patient outcomes. In critical care environments, such as cardiothoracic intensive care units, the employment of advanced devices like the intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) necessitates specialized knowledge and skills on the part of nurses to protect patients from harm. However, findings from a descriptive exploratory study conducted in cardiothoracic ICUs indicate that a significant percentage of nurses exhibited insufficient knowledge (64.6%) and interpretation skills (69.2%) concerning IABP waveforms, despite more than half (56.9%) showing a positive attitude towards patient safety. These knowledge and skill gaps highlight the immediate need for targeted educational programs that equip nurses with essential competencies to ensure the safety and effectiveness of care involving IABP. Considering the critical role of nurses in managing advanced medical technologies and their direct influence on patient outcomes, this study emphasizes the necessity of assessing and enhancing nurses' knowledge, attitudes, and skills regarding IABP safety. Structured and well-executed training programs can effectively address these deficiencies, cultivating a safer environment for patients receiving complex care interventions Objectives of the study to find out the effectiveness of structure teaching programme on knowledge and practice regarding care of patient with intra-aortic ballon pump (IABP) among staff nurses working in selected hospitals of the city. To assess the pre-test knowledge regarding care of patient with intra- aortic ballon pump (IABP) among staff nurses working in selected hospitals of the city.To assess the post- test knowledge and practice score regarding care of patient with intra-aortic ballon pump (IABP) among staff nurses working in selected hospitals of the city.To assess the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on knowledge and practice regarding care of patient with intra-aortic ballon pump (IABP) among staff nurses working in selected hospitals of the city. To associate the post- test knowledge score and posttest practice score regarding care of patient with intra-aortic ballon pump (IABP) among staff nurses with the demographic variable working in selected hospitals of the city. RESULT In Pre-Test, Majority 68.3% of subjects had good level of knowledge score, 21.7% had very good level of knowledge score, 8.3% had average level of knowledge score, 1.7% had excellent level of knowledge score and 0% had poor level of knowledge score. Mean knowledge score in pre-test of the subjects was 16.10 + 3. 629.Minimum knowledge score in pre-test was 12 and Maximum Knowledge score in pre-test was 25. While in Post-Test, Majority 71.7% of subjects had very good level of knowledge score, 28.3% had excellent level of knowledge score and 0% had poor, average and good level of knowledge score. Mean knowledge score in post-test of the subjects was 23.15 + 2. 815.Minimum knowledge score in post-test was 19 and Maximum Knowledge score in post-test was 29. While in Post-Test, Majority 93.3% of subjects had good level of practice score, 6.7% had average level of practice score and 0% had poor level of practice score. Mean practice score in pre-test of the subjects was 7.76 + 0. 870.Minimum practice score in pre-test was 06 and Maximum practice score in pre-test was 09. CONCLUSION The overall mean pre-test and post-test knowledge scores of subjects which reveals that post-test mean knowledge score was higher 23.15 with SD of ±2.815 when compared with mean pre-test knowledge score which was 16.10 with SD of ±3.629. The overall mean pre-test and post-test practice scores of subjects which reveals that post-test mean practice score was higher 7.76 with SD of ±0.870 when compared with mean pre-test practice score which was 5.21 with SD of ±1. 180.The paired ‘t’ test was applied at 5% level of significance.},
