Approximately, 3.4 million central venous access catheters are placed in patients every year. Nearly 6, 000 patients get a catheter-related bloodstream infection every year. The complications associated with CVD occur in nearly 15% of patients, mainly mechanical complications (5–19%). The complications result in prolongation hospital stay, increased hospital costs, morbidity and mortality. Methodology Research approaches adopted for the study was Evaluative approach with Quasi experimental design. Non-probability sampling technique was used to obtain data. The study was conducted on B.

Results In the present study, majority of the subjects in control group and experimental group were 22–24 years of age. As regard to sex distribution, majority of the subjects (62%) were male. The mean post-test knowledge scores of Control group and experimental group were 25.02 and 33.04 respectively. The calculate t-test value was 16.78, which represents the significant gain in knowledge, through the planned teaching programme (PTP). The study showed only significant relationship between knowledge and age group.
