Lack of knowledge about reproductive health in adolescent, making teens easily influenced by misinformation and harmful to their reproductive health. Health education plays an important role in increasing their knowledge and behaviour of young people in order to maintain good reproductive health. The purpose of the research was to see the impact of health education on the knowledge and behaviour of adolescents in reproductive health. Paired t test analysis results indicate that counselling on reproductive health effect on both knowledge about reproductive health (mean difference: 10.216, 95% CI: 6.622 to 13.809) and attitude about reproductive health in adolescents (mean difference: 65.417, 95% CI: 11,176 to 61.690). Knowledge of adolescents about reproductive health would be beneficial in preparing the young people in good reproductive health issues so expect teenagers do not conflict with the norms prevailing in the community.

“…20 Children of teenage mothers are also disadvantaged. They have a higher infant mortality (a risk of 1.6; 1.4 to 1.7 times greater for infants of mothers under 15 compared with mothers aged 18-19 years) and are less likely to be breast fed (40% v 62% in adult mothers), 21 and daughters are more likely to become teenage mothers themselves. 18 19 22 23 According to the Centre for Maternal and Child Enquiries perinatal mortality report 2009, the youngest (<20 years) mothers were 1.4 (95% confidence interval 1.2 to 1.6) times more likely to have a stillbirth and 1.2 (1.0 to 1.4) times more likely to have a neonatal death than mothers aged 25-29 years.…”

“…Within individual countries in Sub Saharan Africa, adolescent births are more likely to occur among poor, less educated and rural populations because of reasons like; lack of access to contraception, early marriage, poor or limited access to education, cultural norms, poverty to mention but a few [2–4]. Adolescent pregnancy poses a challenge to improving maternal and child survival because pregnant adolescents and adolescent mothers are likely to be uneducated, unemployed and poor and might not therefore seek or utilize health care services for either themselves or their newborns’ at critical times [5–7]. Thus increased risks of maternal morbidity and mortality have been noted among pregnant and adolescents mothers [8].…”

“…The vulnerabilities of neonatal hood are compounded by the young maternal age thus increasing the risks for both maternal and child mortality. Among babies born to adolescents, higher risks of preterm births, low birth weight, stillbirths, and newborn deaths compared to babies born to older mothers have been previously reported [4,5,9–13] . …”

IntroductionAdolescent childbearing remains a major challenge to improving neonatal mortality especially in Sub Saharan countries which are still struggling with high neonatal mortality rates. We explored essential newborn care practices and associated factors among adolescent mothers in Western Uganda.MethodsData were collected among 410 adolescent mothers with children aged one to six months in Hoima district. Three composite variables (appropriate neonatal breastfeeding, cord care and thermal protection) were derived by combining related practices from a list of recommended newborn care practices. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify factors independently associated with practice of essential newborn care.ResultsAppropriate newborn feeding, optimal thermal protection and dry cord care were practiced by 60.5%, 67.2% and 31% of adolescent mothers respectively. Independent predictors’ of cord care were: knowledge of cord care (AOR 5.34, 95% CI (1.51–18.84) and having delivered twins (AOR 0.04, 95% CI (0.01–0.22). The only predictor of thermal care was knowledge (AOR 25.15, 95% CI (7.01–90.20). Staying in a hospital for more than one day postpartum (AOR 2.45, 95%CI (1.23–4.86), knowledge of the correct time of breastfeeding initiation (AOR 14.71, 95% CI (5.20–41.58), predicted appropriate neonatal feeding, whereas; adolescent mothers who had had a caesarean delivery (AOR 0.19, 95% CI (I 0.04–0.96) and a male caretaker in the postnatal period (AOR 0.18, 95% CI (0.07–0.49) were less likely to practice the recommended newborn feeding.ConclusionSub optimal essential newborn care practice was noted especially suboptimal cord care. Adolescent mothers should be a focus of strategies to improve maternal and neonatal health.
