Rooming in promotes better emotional bonding between the mother and the baby and facilitate mothers’ involvement in baby care. The health and survival of the new-born baby depends upon the health status of the mother and her awareness, education and skills in mother craft thus she plays a pivotal role in the life of her infant. The objectives of the study were to assess the effect of Nurse Led Educational intervention on knowledge regarding new born care among hospitalized primi mothers and to associate the knowledge with selected demographic variables. Research approach and design – quantitative, pre-experimental design. Convenient sampling technique adopted and included 30 samples. Tool – self-administered questionnaire with 25 items prepared and used for collecting data. Data analysed and interpreted using descriptive and inferential statistics. Based on knowledge score subjects were divided into inadequate knowledge (<33.3%), satisfactory knowledge (33.4 – 66.6%) and adequate knowledge (66.7-100%) category. Among the study participants 60% of them belonged to 20-25 yrs of age category and of undergraduate qualification. Mean age of the group was 25.7 years. Fifty seven percentages (57%) of the participants were from nuclear family. Post-test knowledge was higher than the pre-test knowledge. In the pre-test 70% belonged to satisfactory knowledge category where as in post-test 76.6% were in adequate knowledge category. In both the pre-test and post-test no one in inadequate knowledge category. Knowledge on New born care was categorised into three components i.e. baby care, breast feeding and follow up care. In pre-test all three components score ranged from 59.72% to 63.7% and in the post test components score ranged from 89.4% to 91.6%. Knowledge in all three components showed maximum increase in the post test score. There was no association found between knowledge and selected socio demographic variables namely age of the mother, education of the mother and type of family. The present study concluded that majority (70%) of the mothers admitted in tertiary care hospital had satisfactory level (33.4 – 66.6%) in the pre-test and adequate knowledge (66.7-100%) in the post test on new born care which shows that Nurse Led Educational intervention had improved the knowledge of the hospitalized primi mothers.
