Abstract:

A. Background: The divine gifts of newborns are at higher risk of mortality and severe morbidity than the infant and childhood period. The essential of newborn care combined with the identification and appropriate management of newborn complications is crucial to ensure optimal neonatal health outcomes. The primary aim of the study was to assess the effectiveness of a video-assisted teaching program (VATP) on knowledge regarding Essential Newborn Care (ENC) among primipara mothers.

B. Material and Methods: A quantitative, pre-experimental design was adopted for this study. Through a non-randomized convenient sampling technique, sixty primipara mothers were selected. The pre and post-test data were collected through a structured interview method with multiple-choice questionnaires. The collected data were analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics.

C. Results: Out of the 60 mothers in the pretest, 88 % had inadequate knowledge, and 12 % had moderate knowledge, whereas in post-test, 87 % had adequate knowledge, the remaining 13 % had moderate knowledge, and none of them had inadequate knowledge. The paired‘t’ test value between the overall pre and post-test was 33.65 shows a significant difference between the knowledge score at p>0.05*. The chi-square value reveals that the mother’s age, education, type of family, and residence had a significant association with knowledge score.

D. Conclusion: The findings of the study show that the mean post-test knowledge score of 34.46 ±3.44 was higher than the mean pretest knowledge score of 9.0±2.85.It depicts that; VATP was an effective method to increase the knowledge among primipara mothers regarding ENC.
