        abstract = {Background: Newborn resuscitation is a life-saving intervention essential for reducing neonatal morbidity and mortality. Globally, 10% of newborns require assistance to initiate breathing, and inadequate skills among healthcare personnel often lead to preventable neonatal deaths. Nurses working in labour rooms play a crucial role; therefore, assessing their knowledge is vital.
Objectives:
1.	To assess the level of knowledge of nursing personnel regarding newborn resuscitation.
2.	To determine the association between knowledge and selected demographic variables.
Methodology: A descriptive research design was used among 60 nursing personnel working in the labour room of NMCH, Sasaram. A structured questionnaire (20 items) assessed knowledge. Data were collected using a randomized sampling technique and analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics including Chi-square.
Results: In the pre-test, 55% had poor knowledge, 35% had fair knowledge, and only 10% had good knowledge. In the post-test, only 10% remained poor, 63.3% had fair knowledge, and 26.6% demonstrated good knowledge. No significant association was found between demographic variables (age, gender, area, education, income, religion, marital status) and knowledge scores (p > 0.05).
Conclusion: The study revealed inadequate baseline knowledge among nursing personnel regarding newborn resuscitation. Post-assessment scores improved, indicating the need for structured teaching and periodic refresher training to ensure readiness for neonatal emergencies.},
