Abstract
An experimental study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of neonatal home care instructional module on knowledge of practice and attitude among mothers in community center, Bathinda District in Punjab. The objectives of the study were to assess and compare the effectiveness of home care instructional module on knowledge of practice among mothers in experimental and control group. Also to correlate and associate the knowledge of practice with attitude on neonatal home care among mothers with their selected background variables in both the groups. A true experimental research design was adopted. Using simple random sampling technique 60 postnatal mothers were chosen with 30 in experimental group and 30 in control group. The findings revealed that experimental group had adequate knowledge of practice at the level of P<0.001 than control group. Experimental group had a good attitude at the level of P<0.001 than control group. No correlation between knowledge of practice and attitude was identified in both the groups. Experimental group showed no association between demographic, maternal, neonatal variables and knowledge of practice and attitude. To lower the morbidity and mortalities of newborn, anew born homecare practices are indispensable. Multifarious approach is required in improving the care of newborn and its outcomes.
