BACKGROUND: Neonatal mortality has persisted high in Ethiopia in spite of many
efforts being applied to decrease this adverse trend. Early detection of neonatal
illness is an important step towards improving newborn survival. Toward this end,
there is a need for the mothers to be able to identify signs in neonates that
signify severe illnesses. The aim of this study was to assess knowledge about
neonatal danger signs and its associated factors among postnatal mothers
attending at Woldia general hospital, Ethiopian. METHODS: Institutional based
cross-sectional study design was conducted from January-May, 2017. The hospital
that provides antenatal care (ANC), delivery, and postnatal services was
purposively sampled. Structured interviewer managed questionnaire was
administered to postnatal mothers attending Woldia general hospital. Frequencies,
bivariate and multivariate logistic regression were determined using the SPSS
software (Version 20). RESULTS: During the study period 197 mothers attending
postnatal care (PNC) service at Woldia general hospital were interviewed.
Information on different neonatal danger signs was not provided to 92(46.7%)
postnatal mothers during their antenatal clinic attendance by the healthcare
providers. The majority of mothers, 174(88.3%) identified less than six neonatal
danger signs. The hotness of the body of neonates was the commonly recognized
danger sign by 106(53.8%) postnatal mothers. Of the total mothers, 67(34%),
60(30.5%), 56(28.4%), 44(22.3%) recognized unable to breastfeeding, convulsion,
lethargy, difficulty in breathing as newly born danger signs, respectively. Out
of 197 mothers, 32(16.2%) were giving birth at home. Mother's age(AOR?=?1.33, 95%
CI: 1.99-3.08), marital status(AOR?=?2.50, 95% CI: 0.29-4.31), mother's education
status(AOR?=?3.48, 95% CI:1.57-8.72), husband's education(AOR?=?4.92, 95% CI:
1.29-12.81), attending ANC (AOR?=?2.88, 95% CI: 1.15, 4.85), mother's
residence(AOR?=?0.78, 95% CI: 0.47-1.65), information about neonatal danger
signs(AOR?=?3.48, 95% CI 1.40-9.49) had positive association with maternal level
of knowledge to identify different neonatal danger signs. CONCLUSION: Maternal
knowledge level about neonatal danger signs was very low. Therefore, intervention
modalities that focus on increasing level of parental education, access to ANC
and PNC service are needed.
