摘要

背景了解新生儿危险征兆并寻求医疗救助对降低新生儿发病率和死亡率有很多好处。尽管已经采取了许多干预措施来提高母亲对新生儿危险征兆的认识，但在埃塞俄比亚尚未达到预期的知识水平。 Objective To assess the level of knowledge of neonatal danger signs and associated factors among postpum mothers in public hospitals in the Eastern Amhara region, northeast northeast Ethiopia.方法在 2023 年 1 月 10 日至 2023 年 2 月 10 日期间，在四家政府医院开展了一项以医院为基础的横断面研究。研究采用面对面访谈、观察和病历审查等方法收集数据。结果在这项研究中，只有 36.6%（154 位）的母亲了解新生儿危险征兆。机构地位较高的母亲[（调整后的几率比）AOR = 3.355，95% CI (1.751, 6.428)]；公务员或私人雇主的母亲[AOR = 2.986，95% CI (1.822, 4.892)]和[AOR = 2.544，95% CI (1.269, 5.138)]；以及接受过咨询的母亲[（调整后的几率比）AOR = 3.355，95% CI (1.751, 6.428)]。结论在本研究中，母亲对新生儿危险征兆的认识水平较低，需要付出更多努力。此外，受过教育、担任公务员或私人雇主、家庭人口为 4-6 人、接受过母乳喂养咨询的母亲与母亲对新生儿危险征兆的良好意识有关。因此，应加强以社区和医疗机构为基础的新生儿危险征兆健康宣传活动，尤其要重视未受过教育的母亲和家庭主妇以及母乳喂养咨询课程。

Level of knowledge about neonatal danger signs and associated factors among postpartum mothers in public hospitals, northeastern Ethiopia

Background

Knowing and seeking medical attention for neonatal danger signs has many benefits for reducing neonatal morbidity and death. Despite numerous interventions that have been made to raise mothers’ awareness about neonatal danger signs, the desired level of knowledge has not yet been reached in Ethiopia.

Objective

To assess the level of knowledge of neonatal danger signs and associated factors among postpartum mothers in public hospitals in the Eastern Amhara region, northeastern Ethiopia.

Methods

A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted in four government hospitals between January 10, 2023, and February 10, 2023.421 participants in the study were selected using a systematic random sampling technique. Face-to-face interviews, observation, and chart reviews were used to collect the data. The association was discovered through multivariate logistic regression analysis.

Result

Only 36.6% (154) of mothers were knowledgeable about newborn danger signs in this study. Mothers who had higher institution status [(adjusted odds ratio) AOR = 3.355, 95% CI (1.751, 6.428)]; who were civil servants or a private employer [AOR = 2.986, 95% CI (1.822, 4.892)] and [AOR = 2.544, 95% CI (1.269, 5.138)]; and who had counseling about breastfeeding [AOR = 2.614, 95% CI (1.695, 4.029)] were positive predictors of awareness of neonatal danger signs.

Conclusion

In this study, the level of mothers' awareness of newborn danger signs was low and required more effort. Moreover, mothers who were educated, worked as civil servants or private employers, had a family size of 4–6, and received breastfeeding counseling were linked to mothers’ good awareness of newborn danger signs. As a result, intensive community and facility-based health promotion activities on newborn danger signs should be strengthened, with special emphasis on uneducated and housewife mothers and breastfeeding counseling sessions.
