Abstract: Abstract: Aim and objective: To assess effectiveness of planned teaching programme regarding knowledge of OSCC among BSc nursing students. Introduction: Globally, 35% of girls and 1 in 3 women experience sexual or physical violence, while 1 in 71 men are affected by sexual violence. In India, rape ranks as fourth most common crime against women, with 90 cases reported daily in 2022, 89% involving perpetrators known to the victims. Many cases remain unreported due to stigma and lack of trust in authorities. To tackle this issue, Ministry of Women and Child Development (MWCD) established One-Stop Crisis Centers (OSCCs), also known as Sakhi Centers, on April 1, 2015. Material and Methods: A pre-experimental research study was conducted using total enumeration technique to select 184 nursing students. To assess students pretest knowledge, self-structured knowledge questionnaire was administered. The students were then given planned teaching regarding OSCC and post-test knowledge was again assessed on the day of intervention and after one week. The data was analysed descriptively and inferentially using SPSS 22 Result: In this study, findings revealed significant improvements in knowledge from pre-test to post-test 1 and post-test2. There is evident rise in the number of "good" scorers and the mean scores for knowledge show a steady rise. The analysis of knowledge scores in relation to academic year revealed a Chi-square value of 10.544 and a p-value of 0.032, indicating a statistically significant association (p < 0.05). Conclusion: To conclude, the teaching program was found effective in creating awareness and knowledge regarding OSCC among nursing students.
