Introduction: The present study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of structured teaching programme regarding advanced cardiac life support among nursing students in selected colleges of nursing, Ludhiana, Punjab. The research project was undertaken by Mr. Ashish Victor in partial fulfillment of the requirement for Master degree of Science in Nursing from Baba Farid University of Health Sciences, Punjab. Methodology: Research hypothesis was that the post-test mean knowledge score of nursing students of experimental group regarding advanced cardiac life support will be significantly higher than post-test mean knowledge score of control group as measured by knowledge questionnaire at p<0.05 level. Results: The following conclusions were drawn based on the findings of the study, i.e., in control group mean pre-test knowledge score was 20.90 and in experimental group mean pre-test knowledge score was 21.60. In control group, mean post-test knowledge score was 22.46 and in experimental group, mean post-test knowledge score was 32.53. The difference between the post-test mean knowledge score of students of experimental group regarding advanced cardiac life support was found significantly higher than post-test mean knowledge score of control group at p<0.05 level. Statistically, there was significant effect of age, area of clinical exposure, and source of information. There was non-significant effect of habitat, place of clinical exposure, and duration of exposure to ACLS on nursing student’s knowledge regarding advanced cardiac life support. Conclusion: From the findings of the study, the following conclusions were drawn: the knowledge of the students regarding advanced cardiac life support was average and good before imparting the structured teaching programme but after imparting structured teaching programme, knowledge became good and excellent in experimental group. The post-test mean knowledge score of students of experimental group was found significantly higher than post-test mean knowledge score of control group at p<0.05 level. Statistically, there was significant effect of age, habitat, place of clinical exposure, area of clinical exposure, duration of exposure to ACLS, source of information on student’s knowledge regarding advanced cardiac life support.
