Hyperbaric medicine, also known as hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), is the medical use of oxygen at a level higher than pressure, and is defined as a treatment in which a patient breathes 100% oxygen intermittently under a pressure of greater than sea level or our atmosphere. It has the capacity to promote the growth of new blood vessels, decreases swelling and inflammation deactivates toxins, increases the body s ability to fight infections, clears out toxins and metabolic waste products, and improve the rate of healing. This study Pretest-posttest control design was used subjects are randomly assigned to either the experimental or control group 50 samples selected and studying in B.B.Sc Nursing. Experimental group consists 25 and control group consists 25 samples. Simple random probability sampling technique is used. Experimental group pretest phase is 6.68 in control group pre-test phase mean is 6.8.Assessment of knowledge regarding HBOT after the implication of structure teaching programme. Finding shows that in experimental group post test phase was 21.76 and in control group mean of the post test phase is 12.8 The comparison the SD of pretest in experimental group and control group SD is 1.8 and 1.57 respectively and post-test in experimental and control group SD is 2.47 and 3.8. In experimental group the t test value of the present study is 1.78. the table value of Df 48 is 2.01. The value obtained by ‘t’ test is less than table value so hypothesis is proved and also in control group the ‘t’ test value of the present study is 1.12. Concluded that‘t’ test value done to find the effectiveness of STP regarding HBOT
