Globally, there are now over 160 million confirmed cases of COVID-19 and more than 3 million deaths. The total number of cases in India has climbed to 3, 46, 90,510, and there are 92,281 active cases according to the Union Health Ministry data. The cumulative count of Covid cases in Haryana is 7, 71,116 cases, 7, 60,934 recoveries, 10,049 deaths and 110 active cases. The majority of people with COVID-19 experience mild-to-moderate illness, while approximately 10% – 15% develop severe illness and 5% become critically ill. The average recovery time from COVID-19 is 2–3 weeks depending on symptom severity. However, 1 in 5 people, regardless of the severity of their acute infection, may exhibit symptoms for 5 weeks or more, while 1 in 10 may have symptoms lasting 12 weeks or more. There is yet to be a consensus on the appropriate definitions for situations where COVID-19 symptoms persist beyond the acute phase of infection. Now the post covid complications have become a big concern in patients who have recovered from coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Multifold reports have shown that COVID-19 has a variety of long-term effects on almost all systems including respiratory, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, neurological, psychiatric, reproductive, integumentary and dermatological systems. Hence it is the need of the hour to make the staff nurses aware about the post covid complications. A pre experimental one group pretest and posttest method was used in this study. The samples were selected by purposive sampling technique. The sample size was 40. A structured questionnaire was used to assess the knowledge regarding post covid complications. The responses in pretest showed that 39 (97.5%) had inadequate knowledge, 1 (2.5%) had moderately adequate knowledge and no one (0%) had adequate knowledge. After the implementation self-instruction module, post test result showed that 0 (0%) had inadequate knowledge, 11 (27.5%) had moderately adequate knowledge and 29 (72.5%) had adequate knowledge. There was no significant association between the posttest knowledge and demographic variables like age, gender, educational qualification and place of posting.
