Introduction: Neonatal resuscitation (NR) is a paediatric emergency
procedure used to resuscitate a baby who is unable to begin or sustain
regular breathing and respiration. Nurses have a central part in neonatal
resuscitation and avoiding complications. This study has been done
to assess the knowledge and skills of BSc Nursing interns regarding
neonatal resuscitation practice (NRP).

approach and pre-experimental with one group pre-test post-test
design. 60 BSc Nursing interns of a selected college of district Faridkot,
Punjab were selected using purposive sampling technique. A knowledge
questionnaire and observational checklist were used to assess the
knowledge and skills regarding NRP. A post-test was conducted on the
8th day after the administration of an educational training programme
regarding NRP.
Results: The result revealed that there was a significant improvement
in knowledge and skills of BSc Nursing interns after the administration
of educational training programme regarding neonatal resuscitation
practice. Paired t-test was used to check the effectiveness of the
