“…In 2019, parasitic and infectious diseases including malaria, diarrhoeal diseases, measles, and lower respiratory infections were causing 73% of deaths occurring between 1 month and 5 years of age in west and central Africa, compared with less than 9% in children of the same age in high-income countries. 16 , 23 In east and southern Africa, the percentage of deaths generated by these causes was 52% in 2019, and 4% of deaths were attributed to HIV/AIDS.…”

“…When the literature is examined in this context, the results within the scope of the NC overlap with each other, and the literature consensually points out that the concept of NC will contribute to the development and human life starting from the prepregnancy period and in the later years of life and that improvements in economic and health capitals to be invested in disadvantaged groups in early childhood will positively affect these groups in the future ( 25 , 66 , 71 – 74 ).…”

“…At this point, it will be instrumental to understand the concept of NC and to elaborate on the person, environment, and stimuli that will provide this care. Nurturing Care is defined as care in which the health and nutritional needs of the child are met, he/she is protected from all kinds of threats, his/her continuous development is supported by giving appropriate stimuli, and the child is provided with opportunities for early learning with emotionally supportive interaction offering responses needed by the child ( 24 , 25 ).…”

BackgroundThe Nurturing Care Framework (NCF), which has been emphasized by the World Health Organization (WHO) in recent years and is among the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), expresses the conditions created to promote early childhood development (ECD). These conditions aim to provide opportunities for children in the Good Health, Adequate Nutrition, Responsive Caregiving, Security and Safety, and Opportunities for Early Learning (5 Components) by caregivers, primarily from low and middle-income countries (LMICs). The aim of this study is to examine the knowledge and awareness of expectant mothers and fathers in Turkey, about the NCF.MethodsIn this study, a cross-sectional, analytical research design was used. Nurturing Care (NC) knowledge and awareness levels of expectant mothers and fathers in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters of pregnancy were determined via the online form of “The Knowledge of Nurturing Care Inventory (KNCI)” prepared by the researchers. This form consists of 60 questions describing the 5 components mentioned above. The sample contains a total of 103 people, 91 (88.3%) women, and 12 (11.7%) men.ResultsAmong the findings, the highest mean of knowledge level (13.76 ± 1.22) was found in Responsive Caregiving, and the lowest mean of knowledge level (4.35 ± 1.83) was found in Opportunities for Early Learning. The general level of knowledge on NC was found to vary statistically significantly depending on gender in favor of the women [t(101) = 3.27, p < .05], depending on educational status in favor of those with university and graduate education [F(2, 100) = 3.481, p < .05], depending on participation in pregnancy school training in favor of those who attended [t(101) = 2.349, p < .05], and depending on knowledge on how to support development in favor of those who know how to support [t(101) = 2.370, p < .05].ConclusionsAs a result, expectant parents need information and support about the period when children can acquire the basic developmental milestones and about the developmental risk indicators. More research is needed to implement the NCF starting from the preconception period, especially in LMICs, so that the opportunities in early childhood (which is the time period when the brain architecture is shaped, and development is the fastest) are not missed.
