Method: A quantitative research approach was used with pre-experimental with one group pre-test post-test design was adopted to assess the effectiveness of a structured teaching program on knowledge regarding pulmonary rehabilitation among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. A total of 50 patients suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were selected as study participants through a non-probability purposive sampling technique from selected hospitals. The self-structured knowledge questionnaire was used for data collection. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Result: The finding of the study indicated that the mean pre-test score of knowledge regarding pulmonary rehabilitation was 14.7 and the post-test mean score was 20.1 respectively. Enhancement was computed by using a paired ‘t’ test at 0.05 level of significance and it was found to be 5.4, indicating that there is a significant improvement in the knowledge of pulmonary rehabilitation among Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients. Conclusion: The study concluded that the structured teaching program was effective in terms of gaining knowledge of COPD patients regarding pulmonary rehabilitation
