ABSTRACT: Health is defined as a state of complete physical, mental, and social wellbeing and not merely an absence of disease. Health is a fundamental human right. Infant mortality rate is one of the most universally accepted indicators of health status.1 Newborn with low levels of bilirubin glucuronosyl transferase and people with a severe genetic deficiency of this enzyme are at risk for developing bilirubin toxicity, which occurs when bilirubin levels in cells become sufficiently elevated to interfere with normal cellular functions. Neonatal jaundice is commonest abnormal physical finding during the first week of life. Neonatal jaundice affects nearly 60% of term and 80% of preterm neonates during first week of life During the first week of life, newborn jaundice is the commonest abnormal physical finding. 1-3 More than two third of the newborn babies develop clinical jaundice The objectives of the study were to assess the level of cord albumin as a predictor of jaundice in healthy term newborns in selected hospital of the city.To find association between levels of cord blood albumin as predictor in healthy term newborns and selected demographic variables. A quantitative, non-experimental descriptive research study was conducted among selected hospital of the city A pilot study was conducted on 3 sample to check the feasibility of the study, and it was found to be feasible to conduct main study The main study was collected over 30 A tool was made for data collection. The tool consists of two parts section – A part-1 demographic data of mother, section –a part-2 demographic data of child section – B clinical assessment tool of jaundices Content validity and the reliability of the tool was obtained by using method The result was analysed using descriptive and Inferential Statistics Reliability was assessed using Pearson‘s correlation coefficient interrated method. The score of level of cord blood albumin was found to be r=0.91, In order to establish the reliability of the tool Result revealed that At 24 hours, 50% of the healthy term new borns had normal jaundice and 50% of them had mild jaundice. At 48 hours, 53.3% of the healthy term new borns had normal jaundice, 43.3% of them had mild jaundice and 3.3% of them had moderate jaundice. At 72 hours, 83.3% of the healthy term new borns had normal jaundice and 16.7% of them had mild jaundice. This study concludes that ,.level of cord blood albumin as a predictor of jaundice in healthy term new born it is helpful tool This research can be utilized in the field of clinical nursing, nursing education, nursing administration and nursing research. Study recommends promoting concepts of jaundice
