A quasi-experimental study was conducted to find out the effect of planned teaching programme on the management of low birth weight babies among mothers and evaluate the effectiveness of planned teaching programme on management of low birth weight babies among mothers in selected rural communities, Burdwan, West Bengal. Birth weight is a critical determinant for survival in the neonatal period and for future growth and development of the newborn. Planned teaching programme can increase health awareness regarding management of low birth weight babies. The Conceptual framework adopted for the study was based on Stufflebeam’s Context-input-process-product model. A non-equivalent pre test post test control group design was adopted for this study. Forty mothers of low birth weight babies (0-6 months) for both experimental and control group by convenient sampling technique were taken. The tools were used structured interview schedule on knowledge regarding management of low birth weight babies (0-6 months) among mothers. Validity and reliability of the tools were established. The findings of the study revealed significant difference in pre test knowledge score and post test knowledge score of experimental group [‘t’ df (39) = 15.71 at P<0.05 level]. Significant difference also found in post test knowledge score of experimental group and control group [‘t’ df (78) = 17.42 at P<0.05 level]. Association between the pre test knowledge level and selected demographic variables prior exposure to planned teaching programme was done which revealed that there was significant association with education of mothers (chi-square = 5.248 ) whereas age, no. of child, type of family of mothers was not found to be significant. The finding of the study has implications in different field of nursing (Nursing practice, education, and administration and research). The similar study was recommended with large sample. Planned teaching programme was recommended at antenatal period. It can be concluded that planned teaching programme is effective to improve knowledge of mothers on management of low birth weight babies to promote normal and healthy growth and development and thereby reduce low birth weight mortality and morbidity.
