Stoma care is a procedure that provides care for stoma patients. The nurse need to have adequate knowledge and practice in stoma care nursing. Simulation technique is very effective tool to increase the knowledge and practice related to stoma care in staff nurses. The purpose of the study was to assess the effectiveness of the Simulation technique to increase knowledge & skill related to Stoma care among staff nurses working in selected hospital. A Quasi-experimental research design and qualitative evaluation approach was used. The sample consisted of 40 staff nurses using a purposive sampling technique. The mean post-test knowledge score of staff nurses was 18.0250 and the standard deviation was 3.07586 and the mean pre-test knowledge score was 7.6250 and the standard deviation was 4.16756. The computed 't' value ('t'=2.02) and the mean post-test practice score of staff nurses was 8.9250 and standard deviation was .99711 and mean pre-test practice score was 4.0750 and the standard deviation was 2.24622. The computed 't' value ('t'= 2.02) was significant at 0.05 level of significance. It is concluded that the marked difference was seen in the mean knowledge and practice score before and after the administration of the simulation, the technique was effective in improving the knowledge and practice level of staff nurses regarding stoma care.
