Abstract :
Infants are very susceptible to get ill, mostly
with infectious disease. Most of these illnesses can be
managed by primary health care not only in the subCentre or PHCs, but also in the home itself. But most
important part is early identification of the illness after
understanding the clinical feature of the disease. Aim:
The aim of the study was to determine the effectiveness of
planned teaching programme on knowledge regarding
neonatal danger sings. Method: A pre-experimental
design was used for the study and 60 Postnatal mothers
were selected by purposive sampling technique. Result:
Findings of the study revealed that the overall posttest
mean score was 18.88 with standard deviation 3.147 and
the responded knowledge were significantly higher than
the overall mean pretest knowledge scores 11.20 with
standard deviation 3.172. Conclusion: The present study
findings indicate that planned teaching programme was a
suitable and effective method of enhancing the knowledge.
There was a significant difference between the Pre and
Post test score categories of Knowledge. Therefore, we
can say that the intervention was very effective.
