Abstract	Background: Neurological disorders affect approximately one billion people globally, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), with increasing prevalence due to aging populations. Accurate neurological examination is essential for early detection and management of neurological conditions. Unlike general physical examination, it specifically evaluates the functioning of the nervous system and provides critical insights into brain and spinal cord integrity. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a structured teaching program (STP) in enhancing the knowledge of staff nurses regarding neurological assessment. Methods: A quasi-experimental, non-equivalent control group design was employed. Sixty staff nurses from selected hospitals in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, were divided into experimental (n=45) and control (n=40) groups using purposive sampling. A self-structured knowledge questionnaire was developed and validated (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.72, KR-23 = 0.96) to collect data. Pre-test was conducted for both groups, followed by administration of the STP to the experimental group. Post-test was conducted after 15 days.
