| Zusammenfassung: | This study aimed to describe newborn care practices in an area where maternal,
neonatal and child health (MNCH) intervention is being implemented, and to assess
the effect of such intervention on newborn care. A cross sectional survey was carried
out on 600 mothers to describe newborn care practices in Nilphamari district of
Bangladesh. Logistic regression was used to identify socio-demographic, ante-natal
and delivery care factors that were associated with newborn care practices. Mothers
who had at least three ante-natal care visits had significantly better newborn care
practice. Likewise, the presence of an individual trained in newborn care management
was significantly associated with better newborn care. The association between
'newborn care practices' with 'ante-natal care visits' and 'presence of trained person in
delivery' suggests that evidence-based newborn care practices can be promoted
through community-based health worker with existing health services. |
