Background: birth of a healthy newborn baby is one of the greatest gifts of nature. After birth, the newborns undergo many changes. Majority of the newborns handle the transition well, between 5%-10% of all babies born need some degree of resuscitation. Approximately 3%-6% require basic neonatal resuscitation, consisting simple initial steps and assisted ventilation. As newborn resuscitation is a key component of effort to reduce neonatal mortality occurring due to birth asphyxia, the nursing students as future nurses should possess knowledge and skills to overcome the barriers of providing newborn resuscitation. Objective: to evaluate the effectiveness of demonstration on skills regarding bag and mask ventilation in neonates among gnm nursing students. Methodology: an observation checklist regarding bag and mask ventilation given by who was used for data collection with the help of demonstration method. A pre- experimental study one group pretest post test design was used. Pre and post-test data was collected conveniently selected 40 nursing students of gnm nursing 3rd year from index nursing college, indore (mp). Results: findings of the study revealed that majority of the nursing students (70.8%) were females and majority of nursing students (90.2%) had previous knowledge regarding bag and mask ventilation in neonates but majority of nursing students(79.16%) had not performed bag and mask ventilation during their clinical experience. The mean post-test skill score (12.7) was higher than the mean pre-test skill score (2.2). And the computed paired t test value (t 39 21 p> 0.05) is more than the tabulated value ( t39= 4.78, p < 0.05) shows that there was a significant difference between pre-test and post-test skill score.it was therefore dismissed the null hypothesis and accept the research hypothesis. Study was effective.the skills of nursing students were significantly associated with previous knowledge ( = 8.35) and Number of ventilations performed previously ( =9.53). Conclusion: the study concludes that demonstration regarding bag and mask ventilation was effectiveness. Very effective in improving the skills of nursing students regarding bag and mask ventilation in neonates.
