In Pre test level of knowledge and attitude regarding traditional practices of newborn care among the family members of newborn (mothers, paternal or maternal mothers) shows that in knowledge, 63.3% (19) of them had inadequate knowledge and 36.7% (11) of them had moderately adequate knowledge. In attitude, 16.7% (5) of them had unfavourable attitude, 70% (21) of them had favourable attitude and 13.3% (4) of them had most favourable attitude. When comparing with the post test knowledge and attitude after family centred teaching program among the primary care givers shows that the level of knowledge 3.3% (1) of them had moderately adequate knowledge and none of the primary care givers had inadequate knowledge and 96.7% (29) of them had adequate knowledge and in attitude, 16.7%(5) of them had favourable attitude, 83.3%(25) of them had most favourable attitude in post test. There is significant association of knowledge with age, area of residence and type of family and there is no association with other variables. There is no significant association of demographic variables with the attitude. There is an improvement from the pre test to the post test among the primary care givers of newborn regarding the traditional practices of newborn care which shows that the family centred teaching program is effective.
