Abstract	Background: Premature birth is when a baby is born too early, before 37weeks of pregnancy. More than 3 quarters premature babies were saved with feasible, cost effective care such as essential care during child birth and postnatal period for every mother and baby. Nesting technique is nursing procedure which is commonly used for premature babies as one of the developmental care. Nesting means, the use of rolled–up sheets to form nest to provide physiological, behavioural, and postural stability to the premature babies. Posture and movements means positioning or arrangement of the different parts of babies body corresponding to each other. Objectives: 1) To assess the knowledge regarding nesting on posture and movements of the premature babies among B.Sc. nursing students. 2) To evaluate the efficacy of enlightenment programme regarding nesting on posture and movement of the premature babies in terms of gain in knowledge score. 3) To find out the association between pre-test knowledge score and selected demographical variables. Methodology: A pre-experimental study was conducted among 45 B.Sc. nursing students at selected Athena College of Nursing. The research design used for the study was pre experimental; one group pre-test, post–test design. Sample was selected by using non-probability convenient sampling technique. The data was collected by using structured knowledge questionnaire. Data analysis was done by using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: The result of the study revealed that in pre-test, majority of the subject 30(67%) had average knowledge, 09(20%) had good knowledge and 06(13%) had poor knowledge. Whereas in post-test after educational intervention programme (EIP), all of the subjects 45(100%) had good knowledge regarding nesting on posture and movements of the premature babies. There was a significantly gain in knowledge of the B.Sc. nursing students who exposed to educational intervention programme i.e. 22%. The paired ‘t’ value (tcal= 23.16*) at p<0.05 level of significance for knowledge proved that the stated hypothesis i.e. the mean post-test knowledge scores of B.Sc. nursing students in selected nursing institute who exposed to the enlightenment programme will be significantly higher than mean pre-test knowledge scores at 0.05 level of significance. Hence H1 was accepted and H2 was rejected. Conclusion: The study concludes that enlightenment programme was more effective for B.Sc. nursing students to increase and update their knowledge regarding nesting on posture and movements of the premature babies.
