Premature birth is most often considered to be the end of pregnancy between the 20th and37th completed week (140-259 days), regardless of family weight or length. Unlike a full-term newborn, a premature baby has a harder time adapting to extrauterine life due to its anatomical and physiological immaturity. Because immature gestational age affects various organ systems, preterm infants are at risk for longer-term medical morbidity and adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes. Timely detection of risk factors for premature birth and appropriate prenatal care lead to reduced perinatal consequences.The final paper includes research, i.e. a survey conducted by the author of the completed paper during July and August 2023, in which 110 respondents participated. The research was conducted among under graduate nursing students at FZSRI, and the aim of the research was to examine the knowledge of undergraduate nursing students at FZSRI about prematurity depending on gender, completed high school education, year of study and method of study. Based on that, four hypotheses were put forward. At the end of the research, statistical processing of the answers received for each question in the survey questionnaire was carried out, and after the analysis, the author presents a conclusion where he summarizes the most important knowledge on the mentioned topic and accepts three of the four hypotheses, and based on them, conclusions are drawn about the impact. Individual socio-demographic indicator on the quality of knowledge of undergraduate nursing students (gender, completed high school education, year and type of study), on the basis of which the author presents his own explanations, guidelines and recommendations for the future in the final part of the paper.
