{"title":"Knowledge, Attitude and Practice Towards Antenatal Care among Rural Women in Bangladesh","authors":"Jannatul Ferdous, Dipali Rani Mallick, Ela Rani Shom, Fahima Khatun","doi":"10.46610/ijncpn.2023.v04i02.005","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.46610/ijncpn.2023.v04i02.005","url":null,"abstract":"Background: Antenatal care (ANC) is tremendously important for detecting and treating complications that could jeopardize the lives of women and their fetuses. Objective: to examine the relationship between knowledge, attitude and practice towards antenatal care among rural women in Bangladesh. Methods: A descriptive correlational study was conducted at Upzilla Health Complex (UHC) in Bangladesh among 102 pregnant women, selected by convenience sampling technique. Data were collected by structured questionnaire and it was analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: The result indicates that 73% of participants had correct answers in total knowledge regarding ANC, 72% had a positive attitude and 63.6% of them had practice towards overall antenatal care. Some sociodemographic characteristics including education (F =13.98, p =.00) were significantly associated with knowledge; transport (t = -2.79, p =.00) and past obstetrical history of complication (F = 4.30, p = .01) was significantly associated with attitude; monthly family income (r = .29, p = .00) was significantly associated with practice. The study also revealed that a statistically highly significant correlation between knowledge and attitude (r = .255, p = .010), knowledge and practice (r = .561, p = .000), as well as attitude and practice (r = .403, p = .000). Conclusion: The study concluded that almost half of the participants had good knowledge, more than two-thirds had a positive attitude and nearly eighteen percent to more than one-third of participants had good to moderate practice, however less than half of them had poor practice. More education and counselling sessions focused on ANC which relies on evidence- based interventions provided to women during ANC visits by skilled nurses and midwives.","PeriodicalId":473167,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Neonatal Care and Pediatric Nursing","volume":"152 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135051926","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objectives of the study: • To assess the knowledge on neonatal care among postnatal mothers by pre-test. • To develop and administer a structured teaching program on neonatal care among postnatal mothers. • To assess the effectiveness of structured teaching programs on knowledge-related neonatal care among postnatal mothers by post-test. • To determine the association between pre-test and post-test knowledge scores with selected demographic variables. The researchers' approach adopted for the study was an evaluative approach and the research design adopted was a pre-experimental “ one group pre-test and post-test” design, in this study independent variable is a structured teaching program on neonatal care and knowledge level of postnatal mothers as dependent variable. In the pre-test, most of the mothers (73.33%) scored average and 26.67% of mothers who obtained below-average and above-average knowledge levels in the pre-test were found to be nil. In the post-test, the knowledge scores improved significantly after the structured teaching program 96.7% of mothers obtained above-average scores whereas 3.33% of mothers obtained average scores and none of the mothers scored below-average scores. The findings show that the knowledge of postnatal mothers was improved with a structured teaching program.","PeriodicalId":473167,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Neonatal Care and Pediatric Nursing","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136207776","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
