The pre-test was taken by using structured knowledge questionnaire designed by researcher and validated by the various experts in the specific field followed by Instructional Teaching Programme. After 7 days post-test was taken. The overall mean pre-test knowledge score of postnatal mothers was (30±4.3) which reveals that mothers had good level of knowledge and mean post-test knowledge score of postnatal mothers was (42±1.1) which revealed that mothers had very good level of knowledge and ‘t’ value for total pretest and posttest was 22.22. Area wise post-test highest mean percentage was (96%) in the area of breast feeding and the lowest mean percentage was (88.88%) in the area of prevention of low body temperature. No significant association was found between pretest knowledge scores with their demographic variables except age. The findings of the study concluded that ‘Instructional Teaching Programme’ (ITP) was effective to increase the knowledge of postnatal mothers regarding newborn care.
