Knowledge deficit and adherence to traditional health practices place infants at risk. Some cultural practices for the care of newborns may cause tetanus, hypothermia or other life\u2010threatening illnesses. Maternal education, previous experience of newborn care, economic status, relationship problems with husband or mothers\u2010in\u2010law and dissatisfaction with social relations are the variables of interest for this study.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Aims<\/jats:title>To examine the association between socio\u2010demographic variables and post\u2010natal anxiety among primiparous mothers in N<\/jats:styled-content>epal.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Design<\/jats:title>The study was designed as a correlational study.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Setting<\/jats:title>A major maternity hospital in K<\/jats:styled-content>athmandu, N<\/jats:styled-content>epal.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Participants<\/jats:title>The sample were 216 primiparous mothers who were followed at 5\u20136 weeks after delivery.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Methods<\/jats:title>Three instruments were used for data collection: a demographics questionnaire, the N<\/jats:styled-content>ewborn C<\/jats:styled-content>are K<\/jats:styled-content>nowledge Q<\/jats:styled-content>uestionnaire and the S<\/jats:styled-content>tate\u2010T<\/jats:styled-content>rait A<\/jats:styled-content>nxiety I<\/jats:styled-content>nventory for A<\/jats:styled-content>dults.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Results<\/jats:title>The mothers' knowledge of newborn care, general educational level and income were inversely related to maternal anxiety, that is, mothers with a lower educational level and socio\u2010economic status demonstrated a higher level of post\u2010natal anxiety.
