Abstract:

A study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of a planned teaching program on knowledge regarding the prevention of neonatal hypothermia among primipara mothers in a selected hospital of Dehradun, Uttarakhand. The research design selected was one group pre-test, post-test design. The setting was Shri Mahant Indiresh Hospital, Dehradun. 60 primipara mothers were selected using a convenient sampling technique. A self-developed knowledge questionnaire regarding the prevention of neonatal hypothermia was used to collect the data. The result of the study showed that before the teaching program only (6.66%) of primipara mothers had adequate knowledge, almost (73.33%) had a moderate level of knowledge, and (20%) had an inadequate level of knowledge whereas after the teaching program (96.66%) of primipara mothers had adequate knowledge and only (3.33%) primipara mothers had moderate knowledge. Thus the study concluded that the knowledge gained by primipara mothers regarding neonatal hypothermia was due to the planned teaching program given by the researcher.
