Abstract
A child is a precious gift which has lots of potential within, which can be the best resource for nation if raised and molded in good manner. This present study was undertaken to assess the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on knowledge regarding management of neonatal asphyxia among staff nurses. A quasi experimental (non equivalent one group pre test and post test control group) design was used to conduct study. The pre test was taken by using structured questionnaire followed by structured teaching programme and after one week of STP post test was taken. The findings showed that the mean post test knowledge score (20.5) was higher than the mean pre test knowledge score (10) and found to be significant with a calculated ‘t’ value of 12.68*. Thus the results had validated the structured teaching programme devised. There is no association between mean knowledge score of pre test and post test and selected variables except workshop/in-service attended.
