Many times, the family is ignorant of the needs of these small babies. There is a lack of knowledge on preterm care among primary health care providers, and lack of parent understanding of need for follow up. Structured follow-up programme can result in improvement of implementation of preterm care and compliance. The present study is carries out the effectiveness of parental preparation strategies (PPS) strategies on selected parameters through provision of care for preterm babies. A simple randomization technique was adopted for 15 parents in experimental and 15 parents in control group with PPS for experimental group and hospital protocol was followed for control group. Then the total score for each subject was calculated and converted into percentage. The result of the study revealed that, no one has adequate knowledge in pretest whereas in posttest 12 (80%) had ...

A standard risk assessment questionnaire was adopted for risk assessment after making few modifications (Cronbach alpha 0.86). The experimental group received lifestyle modifications (yoga for two months and walking exercise for two months), with no such intervention provided for the control group. The impact of these interventions was assessed in terms of risk minimization and a P value less than .05 was considered statistically significant.ResultsA total of 204 (control—102; experimental—102) girls with statistically insignificant difference in demographic features were studied. During the pretes...
