Abstract :
The Child is always precious so their health
too. The maintenance of child health is desired and
positively taken so every society has goal of improved
level of child health status. Neonatal care begins from
premarital age which continues from conception,
pregnancy, and childbirth and to the childhood through
proper care during each stage. When primary neonatal
care is inadequate, then it leads to unavoidable and
unacceptable high neonatal morbidity and mortality
occurs. Among the concerned care thermal protection
of newborn is also one of them since hypothermia is
considered silent killer among neonate. To make aware
regarding this condition with the aim to find the
effectiveness of video assisted teaching program on
thermal protection of newborns among mothers this
study was conducted. Researcher used an evaluatory
approach with a pre experimental, one group pre-test
post test design in the study. A self prepared knowledge
questionnaire was used to assess the knowledge among
mothers on thermal protection of newborns followed by
video assisted teaching program and again followed by
same questionnaire for post test. Split half method was
used to test tool reliability and found that tool was
reliable (r= 0.86; p<0.05). To select sample of 50
mothers from a maternity hospital non probability
purposive sampling technique was used. Findings
revealed that the post test knowledge score (15.12±3.41)
was higher than pretest knowledge score (9.68±3.27).
The calculated‘t’ value in knowledge (8.895 p<0.005)
was greater than the table value (1.677). Study found
significant association between the pre-test knowledge
level on thermal protection of newborn among mothers
and selected baseline variables. Study concluded that
the video assisted teaching program was highly effective
in improving the knowledge of mothers on thermal
protection of newborns
