Children are the most vital population in a society. A neonate is a baby who is 4 weeks old or younger. It is a time when changes are very rapid. Many critical events can occur in this period. Neonatal danger signs are signs that sick neonates show as stated by WHO, which includes not able to feed or stopped feeding well, convulsion, fast breathing, chest- indrawing, high temperature, very low temperature and signs of local infection such as umbilical redness or draining of pus. The danger sign is a sign which indicates potential hazard, obstacle or condition requiring special attention. Early detection of neonatal illness is an important step towards improving newborn survival. Health seeking behavior of mothers relies on their knowledge on neonatal danger signs. The objectives of the study were to assess the level of knowledge regarding neonatal danger signs among mothers and to find an association between the knowledge of neonatal danger signs among mothers and selected demographic variables. A quantitative non-experimental approach was used for the study. A sample of one hundred and fifty mothers was selected using convenience sampling. The knowledge on neonatal danger signs was assessed using a self structured questionnaire. The present study revealed that there was an average and poor level of knowledge among mothers regarding neonatal danger signs. The study reported that there was a significant association between the knowledge scores and demographic variables (2 =7.816 and 2=5.991 at p<0.05). The study concluded that awareness programs must be conducted for mothers, to promote right information and practice, for identifying and managing neonatal danger sign.
