The sample size was 60 fathers (30 in control group and 30 in experimental group) were selected for the study using convenience sampling technique. Structured knowledge questionnaire and skill of newborn was assessed using checklist was used to collect the data. The data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results showed that mean and SD for experimental group was 25.40±3.440 and in control group 13.20±4.238 with (t=12.24, p=0.001). The findings on skills showed that the eye care skills in experimental group mean and SD was 7.77±0.971 and in control group 3.47±1.358 with (t=14.10, p=0.001) indicates highly significant.

Introduction: Globally, 2.5 million children died in the 1 st month of life in 2017. An estimated 23,000 children die in Nepal each year before reaching their fifth birthday with three out of five babies dying within 28 days after birth. Children who die within the first 28 days of birth suffer from conditions and diseases associated with lack of quality care at birth or skilled care and treatment immediately after birth and in the 1 st day of life. Objective: The objective of the study was to assess the effectiveness of educational intervention about newborn care among nurses. Materials and Methods: A pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design was employed in the study. Fortyfour nurses working in maternity units of B. P. Koirala Institute of Health Sciences were selected through convenient sampling method. A pre-tested structured self-administered questionnaire was used to collect the data. Frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, Chi-squared test, and Spearmen correlation were used to analyze the data. Results: The findings showed that most of the knowledge lacking areas in pretest were cord care, temperature of birth room, first sponge bath, and second follow-up visit for newborn care. The mean±SD knowledge scores were 21.93±7.20 and 33.68±4.31 in pre-test and post-test, respectively. The pre-test and post-test knowledge scores were positively correlated (r s =0.136). Conclusion: The findings indicated that educational intervention was effective for enhancing nurses' knowledge of newborn care. Continue nursing education and training for nurses would be beneficial to increase nurses' knowledge on newborn care.

Child survival is a key determinant of any country's development which is indicated by the number of deaths that occur each year in terms of under five and infant mortality. In India, we are losing 1.35 million children annually and majority of these deaths occur during the newborn period. The challenge faced by India is enormous evident in the fact that India contributes to 17.5 % of the world's population, nearly 20 % of the total live births, yet accounts for 26% of global newborn deaths. Saturation of all delivery points with providers trained Skilled Birth Attendance including Essential Newborn Care and Neonatal resuscitation are the top most priority under national programme. This study aims to determine the level of Practices of the Skilled Birth Attendants regarding 'Facility Based Newborn Care' at the Health Care facilities in district of Raigad, Maharashtra. Materials and Method: Pre- Experimental one group pre-tests, post-tests research design. Samples are 20 Skilled Birth Attendants. Sampling technique used stratified proportionate sampling for regions of Raigad and random sampling for SBAs. Tool consisted of 75 skills used in Immediate Newborn Care, Intensive Newborn Care and Newborn Resuscitation care rated by using checklist for observing the skills practiced by SBAs. Result: Majority SBAs were age group ≤ 30 years, majority were with 0-5 years of work experience. Only 20% of the SBAs had received training on Newborn. The mean of practice scores is 18.1for Immediate Newborn Care, 6.5 for Intensive Newborn Care and 2.1for Newborn Resuscitation care, which indicates poor skill scores. Te post test score increased to 94% in skills of SBAs. There is a significant difference in the mean score of Practices pretest and post test with p value<0.05. Fisher’s exact test was used for correlation of the demographic variables with the practices. There was significant association in the professional qualification, years of experience and training received in newborn care with practices. The SBAs can apply these improved skills in day to day practices of newborn care. In order to further reduce newborn mortality and end preventable deaths, intensified actions, equitable and universal coverage of high impact interventions and improved coverage of known interventions are needed to ensure newborn survival, which is the right of every newborn to life, survival, health and development hence reducing neonatal mortality in India.

The data collection tool consisted of a Demographic Variables and Structured Knowledge Questionnaire to assess the knowledge of mothers regarding newborn care. The data were collected and analysed using Descriptive and Inferential statistics. Results: Findings of the study revealed that the level of knowledge among mothers majority 65 (81.25%) had an Average level of knowledge, followed by 5 (6.25%) Good level and 10(12.05%) Poor level of knowledge. Therefore, it can be concluded that the majority of mothers had an Average level of knowledge regarding newborn care and there was a significant association between the level of knowledge of postnatal mothers and their selected Demographic variable of area of residency of the mother.
