Abstract

Birth preparedness and complication readiness or BP/ CR of pregnant women enable maternal and newborn survival. A quasi-experimental study was conducted to know the effect of awareness programme on knowledge and practice regarding BP/ CR among pregnant women in Panchla Block, Howrah District , West Bengal. Using the Mother and Child tracking system register 72 mothers with gestational age ≥ 36 weeks selected randomly from 12 sub-centers. Intervention was done through individual and group instructions and data were collected before and after intervention. The intervention through awareness programme to the pregnant women significantly raised the awareness level regarding BP/ CR, as the mean score was higher in the intervention group regarding birth preparedness ((17.1 after intervention versus 13.5 before intervention, t value 12.73 with 35 df , p<0.05) and complication readiness (13.8 after intervention versus 6.1 before intervention, t value 25.31 with 35 df , p<0.05). However, there is no significant improvement in mean score in the control group regarding birth preparedness. There is also, strong positive association between knowledge and practice (chi-square value 16.99 with 1 df and p<0.01). Keyword: birth preparedness; complication readiness

Abstract

The most significant contributing factor of neonatal mortality and morbidity is low birth weight (LBW). Oil massage helps in growth and development in LBW infants. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of coconut oil versus olive oil massage on selected physical and physiological parameters among LBW newborns. Ethical permission was taken. The study design is quasi experimental time series design. 30 LBW newborns (10 in coconut, 10 in olive & 10 in control group) were selected by non-probability purposive sampling. Data were collected from NICU by using valid and reliable Record Analysis, Physical Assessment, Modified Brazelton’s Scale and Maturity Assessment Scale. 10 ml /kg/day oil applied once only for 15 minutes upto 28th day. Weight, length, head and chest circumference, sleep, cry and maturity were assessed on 8th, 15th, 22nd and 29th day for each newborn. The result showed that there were no significant difference in physical parameters on 29th day of observation among three groups except weight gain (F=8.70, p=0.001207). There were significant difference in all post assessments of sleep. There were significant difference in cry score on 15th day (p=0.007701) and 22nd day (p=0.000758) of observation. Statistically significant differences were not found in all assessment of maturity. It can be concluded that oil massage has positive effect, compared to control. The study has a great implication in nursing service by practicing oil massage helps to gain weight and improve behaviour among LBW newborns. A similar study could be conducted using large sample for generalization.
