• To assess the level of knowledge regarding lung cancer before structured teaching programme.
• To assess the knowledge regarding lung cancer after structured teaching programme
• To create awareness of lung cancer among TB patients.
• To determine the association between knowledge regarding lung cancer among patients with selected demographic variables
• To evaluate the effectiveness of Structured Teaching Programme on patients regarding lung cancer
• H1:There will be an improvement in the level of knowledge of patients regarding lung cancer after structured teaching programme.
• H2:There will be no significant association between the selected demographic variables and knowledge of lung cancer
• Quantitative research design was used
In the pre test the mean score of knowledge was 5.1 (±2.08) and In the Post test the mean score of knowledge was 6.7 (±1.81).The paired t’ test value was 4.65 which is greater than the Table value (1.684) at (p<0.05) level of significance. Hence the Structured Teaching Programme is more effective in changing the level of knowledge regarding lung cancer. Chisquare shows that there was a no significant association between the level of knowledge regarding lung cancer among patients and their demographic variables.
