Knowledge of mothers regarding developmental milestones of infants: A Descriptive Cross-sectional study

Abstract

Developmental milestones in children or infants are a certain set of skills or age-specific tasks. Missed or delayed milestones in infancy can be symptoms of serious medical conditions. If parents understand their children’s development, they can tailor their expectations and provide stimulation. This study was conducted to assess the level of knowledge regarding the development milestones of infants among mothers. A descriptive study was conducted on 100 mothers of neonates visiting pediatric OPD and gynecological unit (Postnatal Ward).A convenience sampling technique was used to collect data. More than half of mother’s i.e. 60% had an average level of knowledge, 22% of mothers had a poor level of knowledge and 18% of mothers had a good level of knowledge. Mothers had the highest (75.25%) mean knowledge percentage in general information followed by 53.33%, in developmental delay and least (37.50%) mean knowledge percentage in language development. The overall mean knowledge score is 10.240±2.40 and there is no association (p>0.05) between the knowledge level of mothers with selected demographic variables. It is concluded that the majority of the mothers of neonates had average knowledge regarding developmental milestones.

Waste Management Cognizance in Knitwear Units of Ludhiana

“…Women were working as unskilled workers to do minor manual operations on manufactured hosiery garments like stitching, embroidering and finishing etc. Kaur and Kaur, 2004 also reported that in Ludhiana hosiery industry, majority of the workers were hired on daily wages or piece rate system. According to Titi, (2019) size of an industry is determined on the basis of number of employees and output levels.…”

Enhanced Software Risk Assessment in Software Development Lifecycle

“…Indirect (secondary) benefits related to process improvements, such as optimization, pragmatic decision-making, better process management, and alternative methods. RM is to prevent and control risks before they get worse, so, risk monitoring and maintenance steps are adopted in the RM plan [29] SRM involves thoroughly ing the system or process to identify problems or potential risks, analyze them, and develop strategies to mitigate and control risks. Mitigating software risks does not mean immediately eliminating all risks that caused the failure.…”

“…As [29] distinguished, software risks are mainly divided into three categories: technical risk, schedule/scope, and cost. Technical risks are associated with the performance of software products, including functional, quality, reliability, and timeliness issues [29].…”

“…As [29] distinguished, software risks are mainly divided into three categories: technical risk, schedule/scope, and cost. Technical risks are associated with the performance of software products, including functional, quality, reliability, and timeliness issues [29]. However, if there is no change in the project requirements, scope, design, and implementation phases, unexpected technical risks may occur and are the source of the project failure.…”

“…Even if there are many more experienced technicians, there are still unexpected technical risks today. The schedule and scope risk is associated with the schedule and scope of the software product during development [29] It is possible to make scope changes in an SP to some extent; however, without detailed specifications, some problems may occur after the implementation process begins. These basic changes often require change requests that cause progress issues.…”
