Any object large or small that finds its way into the body either through a wound in the skin or via one of the body orifices such as the nose, eye, ear, vagina or rectum is called as a “foreign body” [1, 2]. Choking is the blockage or hindrance of respiration by a foreign-body obstruction in the internal airway, including the pharynx, hypo pharynx, and trachea [3]. Airway obstruction can be fatal if it leads to serious impairment of oxygenation and ventilation [4]. Choking is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among children, especially those who are 3 years of age or younger. This is largely because of the developmental vulnerabilities of a young child's airway and the underdeveloped ability to chew and swallow food [5]. Young children also commonly put objects in their mouths as they explore their environments. The most common objects on which children choke are food, coins, balloons, and other toys. Certain characteristics, including shape, size, and consistency, of certain toys and foods increase their potential to cause choking among children [6]. Objective 1. To assess the level of knowledge regarding first aid for choking among the mothers of under five children. 2. To evaluate the effectiveness of hands on skill training programme on knowledge of first aid for choking among the mothers of under five children. 3. To find out the association between the knowledge of first aid for choking and selected demographic variables. Method: The study is designed to assess the effectiveness of Hands on Skill Training Programme on knowledge of First Aid for chocking. Data will be collected from the mothers of under five children in selected area at Jaipur. The research design adopted for the study in pre experimental design one group pre-test post-test only design. Result: The study will enhance the knowledge of First Aid for chocking among the mothers of children and prevent further complications. The overall post-test mean knowledge score was percentage of 71.25%. Conclusion: The finding indicates that there is lack of knowledge among mothers of under five children regarding First Aid for chocking and information through various means like Hands on Skill Training Programme is a useful source for improving the knowledge.
