| Background: To keep the airway open and avoid difficulties from secretion retention, one of the most frequent operations in newborn intensive care units is endotracheal tube aspiration. Suction should not be routine and should be done only when a knowledgeable, experienced, and competent nurse is needed to avoid complications. Aims: Evaluate the effectiveness of educational program on nurses’ knowledge & practices regarding neonatal endotracheal tube suctioning. Design: A quasi-experimental one-group pretest/posttest research design was utilized in this study. Setting: the study was carried out in neonatal intensive care unit affiliated to Mansoura university children hospital. Sample: A convenience sample of 60 nurse over a period of six months were included. Tools for data collection: A structured questionnaire sheet, and observational checklist were used for data collection Results: The results showed that total knowledge and performance scores were higher in the posttest and follow-up than in the pretest, with statistically significant differences. In addition, there was a positive linear correlation between nurses' overall knowledge of neonatal endotracheal tube aspiration and practice scores. Conclusion: The study concluded that implementation of a training program improved nursing staff's knowledge and practice of neonatal endotracheal tube suctioning.
