Background and Objective: The first hours after childbirth are considered risky for mother and newborn, with many deaths occurring during or immediately after childbirth. Quality of care provided to mother and newborn after birth is important for the prevention of postpartum complications as well as neonatal and maternal morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to determine the knowledge and practice of nurses-midwives regarding care immediately after birth and to explore the relationship between nurses/midwives’ socio demographic characteristics with overall their level of knowledge and practice. Methods: A descriptive study was conducted with all nurses and midwives (N=22) who worked in delivery room of Maternity Teaching Hospital in Rania City, from July 15, 2016 to December 20, 2017. A questionnaire and a checklist was designed to capture quality of care immediately after birth. The data were collected through interview and observation.
