Objectives  To assess the knowledge regarding Zika virus disease and its management among nursing students.  To assess the effectiveness of a structured teaching programme on knowledge regarding Zika virus disease and its management among nursing students.  To find out the association between pre-test knowledge level regarding Zika virus disease and its management among nursing students with their selected variables. Methods: Pre-experimental design, simple random sampling technique, and one set of pre- and post-testing nursing students from S.J.E.S Nursing College in Bangalore were employed in this study. After a pilot research, it was determined that the tool and study design were workable. Nursing students received systematic instructional programs that collected data. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used in the data collection and analysis processes. Result: The paired 't' test was used to statistically examine the significance of the difference between the mean pre-test and mean post-test scores. The study's results support this finding. With a standard deviation difference of 0.67, the mean difference between the mean pre-test and mean post-test knowledge scores was 8.7. At the 0.05 level of significance, the paired 't' test (59) 19.54 was determined to be very significant. The outcome also demonstrates that, except for prior knowledge about the Zika virus and its treatment, nursing students' knowledge scores did not significantly correlate with the personnel variables they had chosen. Conclusion: Therefore, the study concluded that the administration of a structured teaching programme was an effective method of improving the knowledge of nursing students regarding the Zika virus and its management.</p> K.
