This study aims to assess the effectiveness of educational package on knowledge regarding selected minor disorders of newborn among postnatal mothers in selected hospitals of district Fatehgarh Sahib, Punjab. A Pre-experimental research design was used in study. A study sample of 100 postnatal mothers was selected by purposive sampling technique. The data was collected by knowledge structured questionnaire using descriptive and inferential statistics in terms of frequency, percentage distribution, mean, standard deviation, ‘t’ value, and chi square. In pre-test, majority (95%) of mothers had a moderate level of knowledge, followed by adequate knowledge (5%) and inadequate knowledge (0%) respectively. After interventions, majority of mothers had an adequate knowledge (97%), followed by moderate knowledge (3%) and inadequate knowledge (0%) respectively. Hence it was concluded that interventions had a positive impact on improving participants knowledge. The Chi square values showing the association between the level of knowledge of mothers and socio-demographic variable in pre-test. The calculated chi-square values of age of mother (0.076), area of residence (5.263), religion (1.612), family income (0.786), mother’s occupation (0.104), education of mother(4.999), source of information (2.322), mode of delivery (0.076) and baby’s birth weight (1.329).

The calculated chi-square values of age of mother (2.635), Area of residence (0,344), Religion (6.787), Family income (0.462), mother’s occupation (0.232), education of mother(7.021), source of information (1.203), mode of delivery (0.532) and baby’s birth weight (0.170).

The paired t-test yielded a t-value of 24.073, which is highly significant with a p-value of <0.001.
