Abstract Abstract: Thermal protection of the newborn is a series of measures taken at birth and in the first days of life to ensure that the newborn does not become either cold or overheated and maintains a normal body temperature of 36.5—37.50C. The newborn cannot regulate its temperature as well as an adult. The poor utilization of this care arises in many high-risk cases and sometimes it leads to the death of newborns. So the present study aim at knowledge and practice regarding warm chain in the prevention of hypothermia in newborn babies among staff nurse. Design/methodology/approach: The experimental research design was used for the study Information can be gathered by direct questioning and through observation method ( 60 samples) of staff nurses. The data were analyzed through chi-square by using pre-test and post-test knowledge. Findings: the findings show the significant influence of demographic variables in terms of age, gender, professional qualification, professional experience, experience in the labor room, working department, and previous knowledge Research limitations: the study was limited to hospitals of Jaipur with limited demographic variables.
Keywords Knowledge: -It refers to the response of staff nurses on warm chain in the prevention of hypothermia in newborn babies. Warm chain:-It refers to a set of ten interlinked procedures carried out at birth and latter which will minimize the likelihood of hypothermia in all newborn. Hypothermia:-It refers to a body temperature less than 36.5°C(99.5˚F). Newborn babies:-It refers to newlyborn babies irrespective of their Gestational age & weight. Staff nurse:- who are working in selected hospital.
