The Pre test mean knowledge score of experimental group was 8.02 and Post test mean knowledge score was 18.14. The Pre test mean knowledge score of control group was 7.98 and Post test mean knowledge score was 7.78. The significant difference between pre test and post test knowledge score was 21.451* inexperimental group so research hypothesis (H₁₎ was accepted at p<0.05 level of significance. Hence, it was concluded that structured teaching programme was useful in providing knowledge regarding Nomophobia.
