In view of the nature of the problem under study and to accomplish the objectives of the study, evaluative approach was found to be assess the knowledge of staff nurses regarding peptic ulcer. So, evaluative research approach has been adopted for the present study. The study was conducted in Fortis Escort Hospital, Jaipur. Sampling is the process of selecting representative units of a population for the study. Convenience sampling technique was used to select 60 staff nurses of selected hospital at Jaipur and who met the inclusion criteria for the study. Results: The overall observation showed that, out of 60 subjects 50% (30) had inadequate knowledge, 31.66% (19) had moderate and 18.33% (11) had adequate knowledge level in pre-test. However, after administration of SIM, post-test out of 60 subjects, 10% (6) had inadequate, 50% (30) had moderate knowledge and 40% (24) had adequate knowledge level regarding peptic ulcer among staff nurses Hence the hypothesis (H1) was proved.
