contents <p>Abstract: Chemotherapeutic agents are widely used in cancer management and are classified as hazardous due to their mutagenic, teratogenic and carcinogenic effects. Nursing personnel are exposed to these drugs during preparation, transport, administration and disposal. With the increasing global and national cancer burden, the use of chemotherapy has expanded significantly, raising concerns about occupational exposure among healthcare providers. A quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental (one-group pretest post-test control group) research design was used. Study included 60 samples (experimental group 30, controlgroup 30).a non-probability purposive sampling technique was used. Data collection was done using demographic variables, self-structured knowledge questionnaire followed by administration of video assisted teaching programme on safe handling of chemotherapeutic drugs. Results revealed that during pretest  in experimental group majority of students 17 had inadequate knowledge ,9 students had  moderately adequate knowledge ,3 had poor level of knowledge and only 1 student had adequate knowledge,in control group 18  students had inadequate knowledge ,7 had poor knowledge and 5 students had moderately adequate knowledge. In experimental group the pretest mean is 11.5 ,whereas in control group the pretest mean is 9.48, in experimental group the mean post-test knowledge score (16.40) was significantly higher than the mean post-test knowledge score in control group (11.13) .in experimental group sd 3.50 is also less dispersed than sd in control group (4.68) .the paired t value 4.87 was found significant at 0.05 level of significance, also the unpaired t value 4.96 was found significant at 0.05 level of significant, which indicated that the video assisted teaching programme regarding safe handling of chemotherapeutic drugs was effective in increasing  the knowledge of nursing students in experimental group. Chi-square showed significant association between pretest knowledge scores regarding safe handling of chemotherapeutic drugs with their selected demographic variable source of information –“ χ2” value =30.6 at 0.05 significant level in the experimental group.conclusion: the study concludes that the video assisted teaching programme regarding safe handling of chemotherapeutic drugs effectively improved the knowledge of nursing students.  Keywords: Video assisted teaching programme, knowledge, safe handling, chemotherapeutic drugs, and nursing students.</p>
