Abstract: Background: More than 100 million babies are born annually worldwide.90% of neonates successfully make this transition without the need for help. The remaining 10% of newborns require some assistance to begin breathing at birth; among them, 1% or more may require intensive resuscitative efforts.1 Newborn care and resuscitation is an important starting point for any neonatal programme that is required to ensure the best possible start in life.2 Methodology: The research design for the study was a pre - experimental one - group pre - test post - test design. The study sample comprised 60 staff nurses recruited from a selected hospital using purposive sampling. Data was collected using tools consisting of three sections (sample characteristics, structured knowledge questionnaire, and practice checklist). The data gathered was analysed and interpreted using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: The findings of the study concluded that the Self - Instructional Module (SIM) cum demonstration on knowledge and practice regarding Neonatal Resuscitation Protocol (NRP) among staff nurses was effective. The study recommends that a similar study be conducted in nursing colleges to assess the knowledge and practice of student nurses.
