This can impose considerable demands on their care givers and hence can lead to care giver burden. So, assessment and enhancement of knowledge of care givers regarding home care management of epilepsy through awareness programs forms the cornerstone toward a holistic approach to the disease.</p> <p><strong>Aim: </strong>The aim of this study was to assess the impact of structured awareness program on knowledge among care givers of selected neurological patients regarding home care management of epilepsy at SKIMS, Soura.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Method:</strong> A quantitative, one group pre-test post-test design was used to assess the impact of structured awareness program on knowledge among care givers of selected neurological patients regarding home care management of epilepsy. After seeking ethical clearance from Institutional Ethical Committee and proper permission from concerned authorities, the study subjects were selected by using non-probability convenient sampling technique. A self-structured interview schedule was used to assess the pre-test and post-test knowledge scores of study subjects. After establishing validity and reliability (r=0.88) of the tool, pre-test was carried out on day 1st and on the same day structured awareness program was given through power point presentation (PPT). Post-test was carried out on 4^th day. The data obtained was analysed by using descriptive and inferential statistics.</p> <p>How to cite this article:<br />Ganaie M L, Annu S, Kachroo M.

Understanding the relationship between<br />breastfeeding, postpartum care, and infant well-being is complex. Infants<br />who are not breastfed have higher risks of infectious morbidity, childhood<br />obesity, diabetes, leukemia, and sudden infant death syndrome. Mothers<br />who fail to breastfeed face increased risks of premenopausal breast<br />cancer, ovarian cancer, type 2 diabetes, myocardial infarction, metabolic<br />syndrome, and retained gestational weight gain. However, breastfeeding<br />can present challenges such as breast engorgement, plugged milk ducts,<br />mastitis, and sore nipples, leading to discomfort or pain and causing<br />many women to stop breastfeeding soon after delivery.<br />Methodology: A descriptive study was conducted among 80 postnatal<br />mothers selected through non-probability purposive sampling at Lalla Ded<br />Hospital, Srinagar. Data was collected using a self-structured interview<br />schedule.<br />Results: Among participants, 38.8% had inadequate knowledge, 32.5%<br />had moderate knowledge, and 28.8% had adequate knowledge about<br />managing breastfeeding problems. The mean knowledge score was<br />16.86±6.65 at a 0.05 significance level.<br />Conclusion: The study revealed inadequate knowledge among postnatal<br />mothers regarding breastfeeding problem management. Health education<br />programs are essential to improve awareness about breastfeeding<br />techniques, breast care, and problem management among postnatal<br />and antenatal mothers, reducing breastfeeding-related challenges.</p> <p>How to cite this article:<br />Munawar T, Maqbool I, Baki S, Kachroo M,<br />Munvar R, Shafi M, Khan R, Ismail S, Hijazi R,<br />Mustafa T, Khursheed T, Rather O A.
