One of the factors contributing to infant mortality is low birth weight (LBW). Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of planned teaching program on the care of LBW newborns among postnatal mothers of LBW newborns. Materials and Methods: An evaluative research approach with preexperimental design was used for the study. The study was conducted at JK Lon Hospital, Kota. The sample comprised 60 postnatal mothers of LBW newborns. Sample was selected using non-probability convenient sampling technique. Data were collected using a structured knowledge questioner. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics.
