Kangaroo Mother Care is humanization of high technology and is an alternative for minimum neonatal care unit. In communities where majority of deliveries are at home and very limited resources for neonatal care are available. Kangaroo Mother Care is alternative for all low birth weight and sick new born babies. A Quasi-experimental research design was used to assess the effectiveness of video assisted teaching on the knowledge regarding kangaroo mother care among 60 mothers of low birth weight babies who are admitted in Mata Kaushalya hospital, The results the study were: In pre-test knowledge score • Maximum mothers 26(86.7%) had average knowledge regarding KMC in preexperimental group. • Maximum mothers 27(90%) had average knowledge regarding KMC in post-control group. In post-test knowledge score • Maximum mothers 29(96.7%) had good knowledge regarding KMC in post experimental group. • Maximum mothers 27(90%) had average knowledge regarding KMC in post control group. The Chi-square value shows that there is significance association between the score level and demographic variables (Occupation i.e. 16.494, p= 0.002 and Child gender i.e. 6.667, p=0.036).There is no significance association between the level of scores and other demographic variables because the calculated chi-square values were less than the table value at the 0.05 level of significance.
