Background: Our most valuable and future resources are our children. The family's nurturing practices have an impact on the future children's health. The term "Newborn care" describes the necessary attention given to a newborn by their mother or other caregiver, including nursing, regulating body temperature, breastfeeding, tending to the cord, cleaning the baby's eyes, and preventing infections and accidents. Aim: The main aim of this study was to assess the knowledge of postnatal mothers regarding newborn care in a selected hospital in the Valsad district. Methods: Non-Experimental Descriptive Design was adopted. The sample consists of 80 postnatal mothers selected through a Non-Probability Convenience Sampling Technique. The data collection tool consisted of a Demographic Variables and Structured Knowledge Questionnaire to assess the knowledge of mothers regarding newborn care. The data were collected and analysed using Descriptive and Inferential statistics. Results: Findings of the study revealed that the level of knowledge among mothers majority 65 (81.25%) had an Average level of knowledge, followed by 5 (6.25%) Good level and 10(12.05%) Poor level of knowledge. Therefore, it can be concluded that the majority of mothers had an Average level of knowledge regarding newborn care and there was a significant association between the level of knowledge of postnatal mothers and their selected Demographic variable of area of residency of the mother. Other Demographic variables have no significant association with their level of knowledge among postnatal mothers. Conclusion: The study findings concluded that the majority of the postnatal mother's, level of knowledge was not very high so to raise the level of knowledge among postnatal mothers an information pamphlet was developed and distributed.
The challenge of newborn health faced by India is more than any other country in the world. Globally out of 3.9 million, 30% neonatal deaths occur in India. A Quasi-experimental study was undertaken to assess the effectiveness of an 'Instructional Teaching Programme' (ITP) on the Knowledge of Postnatal Mothers regarding Newborn Care in multi-specialty, teaching hospital in Uttarakhand. Total 62 postnatal mothers were selected by consecutive sampling technique. The pre-test was taken by using structured knowledge questionnaire designed by researcher and validated by the various experts in the specific field followed by Instructional Teaching Programme. After 7 days post-test was taken. The overall mean pre-test knowledge score of postnatal mothers was (30±4.3) which reveals that mothers had good level of knowledge and mean post-test knowledge score of postnatal mothers was (42±1.1) which revealed that mothers had very good level of knowledge and 't' value for total pretest and posttest was 22.22. Area wise post-test highest mean percentage was (96%) in the area of breast feeding and the lowest mean percentage was (88.88%) in the area of prevention of low body temperature. No significant association was found between pretest knowledge scores with their demographic variables except age. The findings of the study concluded that 'Instructional Teaching Programme' (ITP) was effective to increase the knowledge of postnatal mothers regarding newborn care.

Once, they become mentally adapted to the role of newborn care, they feel very satisfied that they are contributing their share towards the caring of the newborn and also feel proud in the fact that they are good father. A quasi experimental study was adopted to assess the effectiveness of training programme on knowledge and skills of newborn care among fathers attending maternity ward at SGRD Hospital, Vallah, Amritsar. The sample size was 60 fathers (30 in control group and 30 in experimental group) were selected for the study using convenience sampling technique. Structured knowledge questionnaire and skill of newborn was assessed using checklist was used to collect the data. The data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results showed that mean and SD for experimental group was 25.40±3.440 and in control group 13.20±4.238 with (t=12.24, p=0.001). The findings on skills showed that the eye care skills in experimental group mean and SD was 7.77±0.971 and in control group 3.47±1.358 with (t=14.10, p=0.001) indicates highly significant. On cord care skills in experimental group mean and SD was 7.83±0.791 and in control group 3.80±1.243 with (t=14.99, p=0.001). On burping skills of newborn care in experimental group mean and SD was 8.50±0.861 and in control group 3.97±1.066 with (t=18.11, p=0.001) indicates highly significant. On diaper change skills of newborn care in experimental group mean and SD was 7.73±1.143 and in control group 3.93±1.258 with (t=12.24, p=0.001) indicates highly significant. The study concluded that there is a need to create awareness among the fathers and mothers regarding newborn care to help them reduce newborn complications. Health education on essential newborn care should be integrated into routine antenatal services and re-emphasised in the antenatal period to help improve maternal knowledge towards essential newborn care practices.

Background: Under-five mortality is a major concern, especially in a developing country like India. In <5 years age group, most vulnerable population is the neonatal period (0-28 days of life), accounting for more than half of under-five child deaths. Neonatal period has also an important bearing on long term growth and development of the baby. That is why the care of the new born plays a vital role in determining child health and under-five mortality rate. Methods: Mothers were classified according to some socio demographic factors. Each mother was given a questionnaire comprising of 25 questions on knowledge and 14 questions on practice of newborn care. For each correct response 1 point and for each incorrect response 0 point was allotted. Finally, the total score was computed. Knowledge was categorized as inadequate (score 0-7), satisfactory (score 8-16) or adequate (score 17-25). Practice was categorized as inadequate (score 0-4), satisfactory (5-9) or adequate (10-14). Chi- square test was applied to determine whether any statistical correlation existed between the socio-demographic profiles and knowledge and practices. A p value of <0.05 was considered to be significant. Results: Answers of 200 mothers were analyzed. Most of them had satisfactory knowledge (91.5 %). Majority of them had adequate practice (54%). This study shows that there is significant association of level of knowledge and practice with selected demographic variables. There was significant association between educational level and knowledge (p<0.00001). No association was observed between knowledge and age (p=0.1657), parity (p=0.014). There was a significant association between parity and practice (p=0.00001), occupation (p=0.00001). No association between age(p=1.828) and education (p=1.8884) with practice of postnatal mothers. Conclusion: Maternal knowledge and practice about new born care play vital roles in prevention of neonatal death. Some socio demographic factors may bear associations with the knowledge and practice of the mothers. Educating the mothers and also their family members plays a pivotal role.

Introduction: The maternal mortality ratio in developing countries in 2015 is 239 per 100 000 live births. According to UNICEF, India has highest infant mortality rates with over six lakh children dying within the first month of their birth in 2016. Objectives: To assess the knowledge of postnatal mothers regarding self care and new born care. To assess effectiveness of information education and communication on knowledge score. To find out association of pre test knowledge score with selected demographic variables. Material and method: A quantitative approach and pre-experimental design was used for study. The study was conducted among 60 postnatal mothers admitted in postnatal ward at PGIMS, Rohtak. The subjects were selected by non probability convenient sampling method. Results: The data was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The study finding shows that post-test mean knowledge (26.10) were found higher when compared with mean of pre-test knowledge(18.43). The calculated t-value 18.952 for knowledge score was higher than tabulated ‘t’ at 0.05 level of significance. This shows that Information Education and Communication was effective. There was no association between knowledge score. Conclusion: The study shows that there is a mean gain significant increase in the knowledge (p<0.05) in all the areas of self care and new born care. The study reveals that the Information Education and Communication material was very effective in increasing the knowledge.
