Hypothermia is one of the main causes of neonatal morbidity and mortality in developing countries. Neonatal hypothermia is caused more by lack of knowledge than lack of equipment and it is an important cause of neonatal death. The aim of the present study was to assess the effectiveness of competency-based teaching programme on prevention of neonatal hypothermia among staff nurses working in NICU. A pre-experimental one group, pre-test post-test design was used for the study. Purposive sampling technique was used to select 30 staff nurses working in NICU. The investigator assessed the knowledge by using structured interview schedule and a competency – based teaching programme was administered to the subjects and on the seventh day post- test was conducted with the same questionnaire. The collected data was analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics.

Keywords: Neonatal hypothermia, competency-based teaching programme, NICU.
