Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia is a common condition that affects a significant number of newborns, often resulting in the yellowing of the skin and eyes, known as jaundice. This condition arises due to the accumulation of bilirubin, a byproduct of the normal breakdown of red blood cells. While mild jaundice is generally harmless, if left untreated, severe hyperbilirubinemia can lead to kernicterus, a form of brain damage. Effective management is crucial to prevent long-term complications, making hyperbilirubinemia a critical focus in neonatal care.
Methodology: The research design adopted for this study was pre experimental one group pre-test-post-test research design and research approach adopted for this was to qualitative approach. The sample were 120 staff nurses. Non probability purposive sampling technique was used.
Result: The mean of post-test knowledge scores among staff nurses was 19.98 which is significantly higher than mean of pre-test knowledge scores of 9.05. The computed paired “Z” value (24.62, df=119, at the level of p= 0.001) is greater than table value (1.9) which represents significant gain of knowledge. Thus the “RH1: There will be significant difference between pre-test knowledge and post-test knowledge score regarding phototherapy among staff nurses at the level of p≤ 0.05.is accepted. It is evident from the results that RH2: There will be significant association between the pre-test knowledge score and selected demographic variables at the level of p≤ 0.05. is accepted as there is significant association between pretest knowledge score and selected demographic variables like years of experience.
