A Pre-Experimental Study to Assess the Effectiveness of Nursing Intervention on Knowledge regarding Prevention of Neonatal Hypothermia among Pregnant Mothers in SDH Magam, of Jammu and Kashmir
Keywords:

Introduction: Hypothermia refers to a condition in which the body
temperature goes down the normal body temperature. It is common
in neonates born at hospitals with a prevalence range of 32% to 85%
and in case of home deliveries in the prevalence range of 11% to 92%.
In developing countries we still lack thermal protection and this is an
under-appreciated challenge for survival of newborn and neonates.
Methodology: A Pre-experimental design and evaluative approach was
used in the study. The data was collected from 50 samples through
non-probability convenient sampling. The study design adopted for
this study was a pre-experimental design that is one group pre-test
and post- test research design. The researchers found it convenient
to use the non- probability of convenient sampling to select the 50
pregnant mothers attending antenatal clinics in SDH Magam of Jammu
and Kashmir.
Result and Conclusion: In the present study Out of 50 mothers 26 (52%)
were having inadequate knowledge, 24 (48%) were having moderate
knowledge and none of them (0%) had adequate knowledge before
nursing intervention. This shows that knowledge regarding prevention of
neonatal hypothermia among pregnant mothers was very inadequate.
The overall post test level of knowledge reveals that the majority 49
(98%) had adequate knowledge and 1 (2%) had moderately adequate
knowledge regarding prevention of neonatal hypothermia among
pregnant mothers. Paired ‘t’ test revealed that the pre-test mean
score of knowledge was (8.92±2.99) and the post test mean score of
knowledge was (18.68±1.25).
