Background: Colostomy care is an important nursing intervention to ensure patient and family centered care. A number of patients go through colostomy procedure annually. The assessment of nurse's knowledge of colostomy care has not been conducted before in study hospital. Therefore, it is important to assess the knowledge of nurses caring for colostomy patients. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of structured in-service education on knowledge level among nurses working in male and female surgical units. Method: Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach was selected using pre and post test method to assess the nurse's knowledge regarding colostomy care after the approval of IRB in a tertiary hospital, Islamabad, Pakistan. Sample: The purposive sampling technique was used to select the study participants (n=39). Finding: The study findings showed that in pre-test nearly all of the study participants (n=36, 92.3%) received the score between 0-10 (poor and average). While in post-test the majority of the study participants (n=34, 87.18%) received the score between 21-25 (excellent). Pair t-test showed the mean score in pre-test 6.08 ±3.74 and post-test mean score 22.38±5.54, P-value < 0.05, Paired‘t’ test revealed that the nurses gained significant knowledge after the structured in-service education. Conclusion: The study concluded that there is an intense need for nurse managers to pay attention to this special area of nursing care by developing the mechanism for nurse's in-service education on regular basis for colostomy care. Moreover, future researches are warranted to validate the findings of this study.
