Background: Resuscitation refers to the act of reviving or restoring life. In newborns, resuscitation involves a unique set of challenges compared to that of adults or older infants. This is because the newborn must undergo rapid and significant physiological changes, shifting from receiving oxygen through the placenta in a fluid- filled womb to breathing air independently within the first few minutes to hours after birth.

Methodology: Quantitative approach with true experimental research design was adopted. Total 50 schizophrenic patients were selected for the study using purposive sampling technique. Subjects were randomly assigned into group. Video assisted teaching regarding neonatal resuscitation was given to GNM nursing students. The video was organized as meaning of resuscitation, definition of neonatal resuscitation, equipment of resuscitation, component of resuscitation, initial step of resuscitation, Apgar score, bag and mask ventilation, chest compression, endotracheal intubation, Resuscitation medication, Post resuscitation care. The tools used to collect the data were as follows: (1) Demographic questionnaire (2) VIDEO assisted teaching on neonatal resuscitation (3) Multiple choice close ended questionnaires to assess the GNM 2ND YEAR student’s knowledge regarding neonatal resuscitation. Baseline assessment was done on the 1st day, then pre-test was done & Pre-test was conducted by assessment of knowledge through questionnaire. Video assisted teaching was administered to the students. Post-test was conducted by questionnaire. The data was recorded for further analysis. Post-test was conducted after the group received intervention. The data analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics with SPSS 21 version.

Result: The average percentage score on the pre-test assessing knowledge of neonatal resuscitation among GNM 2nd year nursing students was 38%, with a standard deviation of 4.18. These results indicated that the majority of students had inadequate knowledge, and none demonstrated adequate understanding of the topic. Only 12% showed a moderate level of knowledge before the intervention. After the implementation of a video-assisted teaching program, the mean post-test score increased to 75.55%, with a standard deviation of 5.69. Post-test results showed that 72% of students had moderately adequate knowledge, while 28% demonstrated adequate knowledge. Importantly, no students remained in the inadequate knowledge category after the intervention. A Chi-square test showed a significant association between students' age and their knowledge scores, with a Chi-square value of 17.132, indicating that age had a meaningful influence on the improvement of knowledge levels.

Conclusion: Thus, the training regarding video assisted teaching was effective in improving level of knowledge regarding neonatal resuscitation among nursing students.
