For health care workers, the main strategy for reducing physical exposure to highly infectious diseases is through personal protective equipment (PPE, other barrier nursing techniques. Aim: To assess the skill on Personal Protective Equipment ( PPE ) by Pre- test, To assess the effectiveness of skill training on Personal Protective Equipment by Post-test, To determine association between skill on Personal Protective Equipment with their socio- demographic variables. Method: Total 100 sample were taken by using stratified sampling technique. Data were collected by using self structured checklist. Results: Out of 100 students majority 65% having low skill, 24% having moderate skill and only 11% were having high skill in Pre- test, In Post- test 83% student having high skill, 17% having moderate skill and none of the respondent having low skill in Post- test. There is a statistical significant association between the level of skill on PPE related to academic qualification, type of living area, awareness of barrier nursing techniques at P<0.001 level, have you aware of barrier nursing were significant at P<0.05 level, in pre-test. Gender, year of study and type of living area were significant at P<0.01 level, academic qualification and awareness of barrier nursing were significant at P<0.05 level at post test. Conclution: Based on the obtained findings the researcher prepared a book let which will help them to improve their knowledge on nursing informatics.
