Title of the article study to assess the effectiveness of Virtual Teaching Program (VTP) regarding care of central venous catheter in terms of knowledge and skills among Nursing Students in selected Nursing Colleges of North India” Objectives 1. To assess and compare knowledge regarding care of central venous catheter among nursing students in virtual teaching group and conventional teaching group. 2. To assess and compare skills regarding care of central venous catheter among nursing students in virtual teaching group and conventional teaching group. 3. To determine relationship between knowledge and skills of nursing students regarding care of central venous catheter among nursing students in virtual teaching group and conventional teaching group. 4. To find out the association of knowledge and skills regarding care of central venous catheter among nursing students with their selected demographic variables in virtual teaching group and conventional teaching group. Results: The difference in the mean knowledge and skills score of VT group was computed by using independent ‘t’ test. The calculated ‘t’ value for knowledge score was 4.10, [ t (128) =1.97] which was found to be statistically non- significant at 0.05 level of significance p=0.68 and for skills score was 3.75 t (128) =1.97; p=0.00 which was found to be statistically significant at 0.05 level of significance. The mean post-test knowledge score (20.02±0.61) of nursing students in VT group was higher than the mean pre-test knowledge score (16.34±650) and the calculated ‘t’ value of 3.84 was found to be statically significant, t (64)=1.99; p=0.00 at 0.05 level of significance. The mean post-test skills score (89.83±5.70) of nursing students in VT group was higher than the mean pre-test skills score (41.6±8.17) and the calculated ‘t’ value of 38.10 was found to be statically significant, [t (64)=1.99; p=0.00] at 0.05 level of significance. A weak positive correlation was found between knowledge and skills in post-test among nursing students in VT group. There was no association of pre-test knowledge score of nursing students in VT group and CT group with their selected variables.
