METHODS: In this study, descriptive design was used and non-probability convenient sampling technique was adopted to select neonates of primipara’s mothers from selected Hospital at Mysuru. Pilot study was conducted, the tool and study design were found to be feasible. Neonatal outcome of primipara’s mothers were assessed by using checklist and interview method. was validated by experts and reliability was established by rater inter rated method. The data were collected and analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. RESULT: The study results revealed that, majority 56% of the mothers were in the age group of 24-29 years.
