“…Fathima et al, [10] and Sinha et al, [6] assessed that the 84% mothers and 95% mothers respectively were advised on immunization by ASHA workers, whereas, Bhaisare et al, [5] revealed only 35% mothers and 37% mothers received advice regarding immunization and initiation of breastfeeding respectively from ASHA workers which was very low as compared to present study. This difference might be because Bhaisare et al, [5] conducted the study in a tribal area of Maharashtra It is seen that if health functionaries imparts better knowledge of immunization to mothers that improve immunization coverage [8,9].…”

Based on these facts Government of India took an initiative, Home Based Post Natal Care (HBPNC), to follow up postnatal mothers and newborns for first six weeks. The present study assessed the quality of home based newborn care (a component of home based post-natal care) provided by ASHA workers and various factors associated with it. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted under Community Health Center, Dubaldhan in block Beri of Haryana. A total of 60 ASHA workers were visited and all the newborn under the supervision of each ASHA worker were included in the study. In this way 259 newborns were contacted. A scoring system was used to assess the quality of Home based newborn care given by ASHA worker Results: Majority of ASHA workers were not able to record temperature and weight of the baby correctly. Regarding care of cord and danger signs in newborn only half (50%) of the mothers were counselled, whereas, only 48% mothers were counselled regarding care of eyes. Statistically significant association of quality of newborn care with education and training attended by ASHA Workers was seen. Conclusion: Our study confirmed that most of the new born babies were not getting good quality of home based newborn care. Recent training attended by ASHA worker is highly associated with providing good quality newborn care to babies by ASHA workers.

Objective: This study was done to evaluate the knowledge of primary health-care workers about the newborn care components. Methods:The Institutional Ethics Committee approval was obtained, and a cross-sectional study was carried out among the primary health-care workers of Karaikal using a pretested questionnaire from January 2015 to March 2015. The questionnaire contained questions on various domains of newborn care components. The study participants were explained about the study. Verbal informed consent was obtained, and the questionnaire was introduced to 383 health-care workers. The answered questionnaires were collected and analyzed.Results: A total of 349 participants (192-government employees; 157-private employees) were willing to take part in the study. Most (54.7%) of the government participants were nurses and auxiliary nurse midwives (43.2%) whereas the private sector participants were predominantly (79%) nurses. The knowledge level about some of the newborn care components, namely, positioning and attachment, advice on discharge, time of follow-up checkup, bad child rearing practices, and danger signs of newborn were assessed to be predominantly inadequate among a majority of health workers of both sectors. 22.29% and 41.1% of the private health-care workers and government health-care workers respectively, were having an overall adequate knowledge (overall score >75%) on newborn care components. Knowledge of the government health workers was significantly better than private health-care staff (P < 0.001). Conclusion:Knowledge is found to be inadequate among health-care workers on some newborn care components which necessitate measures to improve.
