“…This situation is a big gap in Turkey's health policies. Establishment of a special unit within the Ministry of Health for the care of babies with congenital anomalies should be established with policies, specific training and guidelines for midwives, nurses and family doctors who are the key people in helping mothers (Emelonye et al 2016;Shrestha et al 2014).…”

“…Furthermore, at least ~10-15% of women in these and other industrialized countries are faced with PPD [7,8,[12][13][14]. In developing countries, the rates of postpartum anxiety appear to be at least as high as those in industrialized nations [15][16][17] and postpartum depression can be 2 to 3 times higher than in industrialized countries [14,18,19]. When one additionally considers mothers with high, but subclinical, levels of anxiety and depressive symptoms the number of affected women and their children around the world is significant.…”

Ten to twenty percent of postpartum women experience anxiety or depressive disorders, which can have detrimental effects on the mother, child, and family. Little is known about the neural correlates of these affective disorders when they occur in mothers, but they do have unique neural profiles during the postpartum period compared with when they occur at other times in a woman's life. Given that the neural systems affected by postpartum anxiety and depression overlap and interact with the systems involved in maternal caregiving behaviors, mother-infant interactions are highly susceptible to disruption. Thus, there is an intricate interplay among maternal mental health, the mother-infant relationship, and the neurobiological mechanisms mediating them that needs to be the focus of future study.

Background: Worldwide, Neonatal Jaundice is one of the most common disorders and causes of avoidable brain damage and physical and mental impairment, and probable death in newborns. It is an important contributor to the high neonatal morbidity and mortality in Nepal.Objective: To assess among mothers the knowledge about neonatal jaundice. Method:A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 177 mothers in selected village with convenient sampling technique.Results: Findings revealed that around half of the mothers (49.90%) had low level of knowledge (score <50%), 28.60% mothers had moderate level of knowledge (score 50-75%) and only 22% mothers had adequate level of knowledge (score >75%) regarding neonatal jaundice. A large proportion of mothers (84%) believed that danger sign of neonatal jaundice was unable to feed the baby. Few 11% mothers believed that mental retardation and death was the complication of neonatal jaundice. Few mothers (12%) were aware about the cause of neonatal jaundice. Around 74% believed that exposing the baby to the sunlight is the primary management of neonatal jaundice but only 2% heard about the phototherapy.Conclusion: Knowledge about neonatal jaundice was low among Nepalese mothers. Awareness should be created among the expecting mothers about neonatal jaundice and encourage them to take preventive measures to avert neonatal mortality and morbidity.

Factors associated with post‐natal anxiety among primiparous mothers in Nepal

Abstract: Policy implications from these results indicate the need for support and funding from the Ministry of Health for education for women at hospitals, which must work together to offer newborn care education during the ante-natal and post-natal periods.
