Abstract: The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a structured teaching program and simulation on knowledge and skills regarding facility-based newborn care (FBNC) among B.Sc. (N) 3rd-year students at selected colleges of Punjab. A true experimental pre-test and post-test control group design was used. A total of 176 nursing students were selected using a two-stage sampling technique. Data were collected using a self-structured questionnaire and observational checklist. The intervention included a structured teaching program and simulation on care of newborns at birth, thermoregulation, and feeding practices. Results showed a significant increase in mean post-test knowledge and skill scores among students in the experimental group compared to the control group (p<0.05). The findings indicate that structured teaching combined with simulation enhances students? clinical competence and preparedness for facility-based newborn care.
