Background: Worldwide, Neonatal Jaundice is one of the most common disorders and causes of avoidable brain damage and physical and mental impairment, and probable death in newborns. It is an important contributor to the high neonatal morbidity and mortality in Nepal.Objective: To assess among mothers the knowledge about neonatal jaundice. Method:A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 177 mothers in selected village with convenient sampling technique.Results: Findings revealed that around half of the mothers (49.90%) had low level of knowledge (score <50%), 28.60% mothers had moderate level of knowledge (score 50-75%) and only 22% mothers had adequate level of knowledge (score >75%) regarding neonatal jaundice. A large proportion of mothers (84%) believed that danger sign of neonatal jaundice was unable to feed the baby. Few 11% mothers believed that mental retardation and death was the complication of neonatal jaundice. Few mothers (12%) were aware about the cause of neonatal jaundice. Around 74% believed that exposing the baby to the sunlight is the primary management of neonatal jaundice but only 2% heard about the phototherapy.Conclusion: Knowledge about neonatal jaundice was low among Nepalese mothers. Awareness should be created among the expecting mothers about neonatal jaundice and encourage them to take preventive measures to avert neonatal mortality and morbidity.

Introduction: Neonatal Jaundice (NNJ) is an important contributor to the high neonatal morbidity and mortality in Nepal. Objectives: To assess the knowledge among mothers about NNJ. Method: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out among 177 mothers in Sunakothi, Lalitpur, a village in Kathmandu valley, with an interview schedule and convenient sampling technique. Results: Of the 177 mothers, 57.1% were in the 26-30 year age group, 98.7% had at least four antenatal visits, 81.6% were Hindus, 50.6% were educated up to class eleven and 42.9% were housewives. Around 50% of mothers had a low level of knowledge (score <50%), 28.6% had moderate level of knowledge (score 50-75%) and 22% had adequate level of knowledge (score >75%) regarding NNJ. Whilst 84% of mothers believed that the danger sign of NNJ was inability to feed the baby, 11% of mothers believed that mental retardation and death were complications of NNJ. A few mothers (12%) were aware about the cause of NNJ. Around 74% mothers believed that exposing the baby to sunlight is the home management of NNJ but only 2% had heard about phototherapy. Whilst knowledge about NNJ had a statistically significant relationship with maternal education, there was no statistically significant relationship with age, occupation or parity.
