Kangaroo Mother Care is a key component of effort to reduce the neonatal mortality, enhance the mother knowledge and practice to improve the child health. The use of simulation for increase the knowledge, practice of the mother for effective KMC has been widespread growth and adaption across maternity institution. The present study aimed to assess the effectiveness of simulation on knowledge and practice among the mother or family member in order to improve the mother knowledge and practice level, also enhance the neonatal health. The objective of the study were to assess the knowledge and practice of the mother about KMC and to find out correlation of knowledge with practice on KMC. An experimental research with one group pre-test post-test design having 50 sample were collected by convenience sampling technique. The study found that; the mean of post-test (6.12) is significantly higher than mean pre-test (4.16) knowledge scores and the mean of post-test (8.22) practice score also higher than mean pre-test (4.32) practice scores. Hence it was concluded that KMC is the best method for both mother and baby. Stimulation based study assist confidence while enhancing the mother ability to knowledge and practice about KMC.
