Evaluation of the Knowledge and Attitude Changes of Mothers in Neonatal Care

Abstract

ABS TRACT ÖZ Materials and Methods:Questionnaire forms designed on the subject of infant care and nutrition were given to mothers right after delivery. Before being discharged they were informed by the doctor and breastfeeding nurse about nutrition, infant care, and the most common mistakes. These forms were reapplied on the 15 th and 30 th days in neonatal polyclinic controls and the changes were evaluated. The correct information was repeated to the mothers who were detected to have misinformation and wrong attitudes in the evaluations in each form application period. Results: A total of 100 mothers and their infants were included in the study. No difference was determined in the nutrition rates of infants with food other than breast milk on the first day, 15 th and 30 th days. However, the breastfeeding rates obtained were higher on the 30 th day than on the 15 th , with an interval of two hours, and in general breastfeeding rates were low on the 15 th and 30 th days. The rates of bathing the infants with and without a bathtub net were determined to be high on the 15 th and 30 th days. The change in the infants' sleeping positions, the place of sleep, and the presence of rails/guards around the crib on the 15 th and 30 th days were not found to be significant compared to the 1 st day. There was a significant increase in the umbilical care rates on the 15 th and 30 th days. The increase in washing the clothes of the infants with soap powder, and the decrease in swaddling after the education were found to be significant. Furthermore, it was determined that the mothers received infant care information more frequently from the healthcare organisation

Mother's Attitude and Husband Support Toward Newborn Baby Visit at Rawasari Community Health Center, Jambi

“…Namun kenyataannya meskipun ibu memiliki sikap yang positif terhadap kunjungan neonatal, ibu tidak membawa bayinya kembali ke pelayanan kesehatan dan semua responden yang telah mendapatkan kunjungan neonatal yang pertama tidak datang kembali ketempat pelayanan kesehatan untuk melakukan kunjungan ulang. Hal tersebut dipengaruhi oleh beberapa faktor salah satunya adalah faktor budaya dalam masyarakat (Hamilçıkan et al, 2017;Majumder & Ahmed, 2018). Hasil penelitian mendapatkan bahwa dukungan suami yang kurang mendukung memiliki 1,9 kali lebih berisiko terhadap ketidakteraturan kunjungan neonatal (PR=1,95; 95% CI=1,14-3,33) dan dari hasil uji statistik menunjukkan terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara dukungan suami yang kurang mendukung terhadap ketidakteraturan kunjungan neonatal.…”
