        abstract = {Introduction: Background of the study: Sudden cardiac death is believed to be involved in nearly a quarter of all human deaths, with ventricular fibrillation being its most common mechanism. One of the first descript of ventricular fibrillation and its link to sudden cardiac death belongs to the British physiologist John A. McWilliam, a former student of the famous Carl Ludwig, who was working at the University of Aberdeen. Cardiac defibrillation is the act of administering a transthoracic electrical current to a per- son experiencing one of the two+ lethal ventricular dysrhythmias, ventricular fibrillation (VF) or pulseless ventricular tachycardia (VT). Objective: The objective of the study was assessing the effectiveness of structure teaching program among nursing student. An experimental research approach and one group pre-test post-test research design was used to collect data before and after an administration of questionnaire on defibrillation. The nursing student were the samples selected by a purposive sampling technique and data was collected by using Standardized defibrillation Questionnaire with structured interview schedule. The analysis was done by using descriptive and inferential statistics Results: It was observed that the percentages of that 31.67% of nursing students from selected nursing colleges had poor level of knowledge score, 58.33% of them had average and 10% of nursing students had good level of knowledge score. Minimum knowledge score in before intervention pretest was 8 and maximum knowledge score in pretest was 21. The hypothesis was tested statistically with the distribution of pre-test and post-test mean score. pre-test mean knowledge score 10.81±3.48 and post mean knowledge score10.81±3.48, The levels of knowledge during the pre-test and post-test were compared to prove the effectiveness of planned teaching. Tabulated value was compared with calculated ‘t’ value. Mean, standard deviation and mean difference values are compared and student’s paired ‘t’ test is applied at 5% level of significance. The tabulated value for n=60- 1 i.e., 59 degrees of freedom was 2.00. The calculated ‘t’ value i.e. 24.03 are much higher than the tabulated value at 5% level of significance for overall knowledge score of nursing students which is statistically acceptable level of significance.},
