ABSTRACT

A neonate, is a newborn child under the age of 28 days. The mortality rate is high and the child is at highest risk of getting infections, during the first 28 days of life. Therefore it is important that adequate feeding and care are provided during this period, which helps to improve the child’s chances of survival and to proceed with a healthy life. Proper care during this time can lay the foundation for a lifetime of good health. If the mothers practice proper home based newborn care, neonatal mortality and morbidity can be reduced. The main aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of VAK (Visual, Auditory and Kinesthetic ) Model Learning programme on knowledge and attitude regarding home based newborn care among antenatal primigravida mothers. Variables: Independent variable – VAK (Visual, Auditory and Kinesthetic)model learning programme. Dependent variables-knowledge score and attitude score. The pilot study was conducted in Chandulal Chandrakar Memorial Government Medical College And Hospital Durg (C.G.)and the study sample was 10.The reliability of the tool was computed by karl pearson formula and the research design used was Quasi Experimental Research Design with Non Randomised Control Group Design and the target population was antenatal mothers and the accessible population was antenatal primigravida mothers in second and third trimester, the sampling technique used was purposive sampling technique with self structured questionnaires as a tool. On the basis of pre test and post test analysis of pilot study, it was revealed that, the reliability coefficient of the structured knowledge and attitude questionnaire was 0.816 and 0.85 respectively , which indicates that the tool is reliable. Overall impact of VAK model learning programme revealed that the t test value of experimental group knowledge and attitude was 5.28 and 21.21 respectively, which was greater table value at df (4) at p<0.05. Hence the VAK model learning programme is significantly effective in improving the knowledge and attitude regarding home based new born care among antenatal primigravida mothers.
