Background: Meditation is a mind–body practice that involves focusing attention on a specific object, sound, or activity to reduce distracting thoughts and promote mental clarity. Aim: The main aim of the study to assess meditation therapy level of knowledge among b.sc nursing students. Methodology: A quantitative approach with a non-experimental descriptive design was adopted for the study. It was conducted among 60 final-year B.Sc. Nursing students. Participants were selected using simple random sampling. Data were collected through a structured self-administered questionnaire after obtaining institutional permission and informed consent. Result: The results showed that 36.7% of students had inadequate knowledge, 30.0% had moderate knowledge, and 33.3% had adequate knowledge regarding meditation therapy. Among demographic variables, only previous exposure to meditation therapy showed a statistically significant association with knowledge level (p < 0.05), while other variables were not significant. Conclusion: The study concludes that a considerable number of nursing students lack sufficient knowledge about meditation therapy. Educational interventions and inclusion of meditation-related content in the nursing curriculum are recommended to improve awareness and support students’ mental well-being.
