        abstract = {Neonatal care has made significant advances in the last few decades, as a result, mortality and morbidity has reduced significantly. Many of these advances have been facilitated or delivered through development of medical technologies allowing clinical teams to be better supported with the care they deliver or provide new therapies and diagnostics to improve management. Neonatal medicine relies heavily on advances in medical technology to optimise care and improve survival. Recent trends in neonatal intensive care unit, nursing personnel are critically ensuring comprehensive and holistic care for new-borns. By embracing the latest advancements in technology and care practices, Neonatal staff nurses can significantly improve new born outcomes, reducing complications and enhancing overall health for neonates in phototherapy. Minimizing mother-child separation, involving fathers, empowering parents from the time of birth. These trends also prioritize family-centereds care, engaging and educating parents in the care process to improve long-term outcomes and reduce readmission rates. According to Indian academy of Pediatrics, the presence of jaundice means that the baby’s body is producing bilirubin due to breaking down of red blood cells which is a normal phenomenon seen in up to 80–85% a common cause of readmission to the hospital after birth. Neonatal jaundice is usually a mild, transient, and self-limiting condition known as physiologic jaundice. The researcher finds that the care of newborn care under phototherapy is not only limited with the protection of eyes genitals, and hydrations. Beyond that there are numerous newborn care can be provided by the staff nurses of the nicu from head to toe like updating in the eye mask, nasal care while providing oxygen, painless lancets, Transcutaneous bilirubin devices which estimate serum bilirubin noninvasively have been found to reduce the need for blood draws, Neosmile hydrogel which holds the probe in place for reliable vital readings, umbilical catheter line holder, secure port intravenous, fast-acting adhesive, commonly known for its role in superglue, intravenous dressing application by transparent dressing. Parentral involvement, upcoming wireless monitoring and real time monitoring, all these recent trends in neonatal care empower NICU staff nurses with advanced tools and knowledge to deliver updated, high-quality care. These innovations contribute to improved outcomes and facilitate the early discharge of newborns. Objectives To assess the effectiveness of organized teaching practices on knowledge regarding recent trends in care of newborn under Phototherapy among staff nurses in the selected neonatal units in hospitals. To assess the pre-test level of knowledge regarding recent trends in care of newborn. under Phototherapy among staff nurses in the selected neonatal units in hospitals. To assess the post-test level of knowledge regarding recent trends in care of newborn under Phototherapy among staff nurses in the neonatal units in hospitals. To evaluate the effectiveness of organized planned teaching practices on knowledge regarding recent trends in care of newborn under Phototherapy among staff nurses in the selected neonatal units in hospitals. To associate the level of post-test knowledge regarding recent trends in care of newborn under Phototherapy among staff nurses in the selected neonatal units in hospitals, with selected demographic variables. Result Teaching practice on recent trends in new born under phototherapy. The analysis of pre-test and post-test scores indicates a significant improvement in knowledge levels among participants following the intervention or training. The mean knowledge score increased from 11.65 (pre-test) to 25.20 (post-test), demonstrating a substantial enhancement. Additionally, the lower standard deviation in the post-test scores (±2.729) compared to the pre-test scores (±4.237) suggests that participants' knowledge levels became more consistent after the intervention conclusion Overall, the data reflects that most individuals achieved higher scores in the post-test, indicating the effectiveness of the intervention in improving knowledge levels among the participants. score to their demographic variables and there pre-test score, post-test score, effectiveness of organized teaching practices on knowledge regarding recent trends in care of new born under phototherapy among staff nurses in the selected neonatal units in hospitals organized with selected demographic variables, analysis and interpretation results given by the investigator.},
