Abstract Background: Empty nest syndrome (ENS) is one of the unidentified and underrated reason for depression. Majority of parents in India are suffering from ENS.

adopted with sample size of 50 middle aged women aged 40-65 years, selected through non-probability convenient random sampling technique. A structured knowledge questionnaire was used as data collection tool.
Results: The collected data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The study outcomes indicated that 34(68%) were having poor knowledge regarding ENS and its prevention, 15(30%) were having average knowledge and surprisingly only 1(2%) was having good knowledge regarding ENS and its prevention.The mean, mean % of pretest scores was 11.14, 37.3 respectively with SD 2.84 and for post test mean, mean % was 23.20, 78.2% with SD 3.06.
