In India most the mothers are not aware of management regarding minor disorder of newborn (vomiting, diarrhea, physiological jaundice conjunctivitis, umbilical cord infection, skin rashes etc). Mother plays an important role in the identifying minor developmental deviation and early evidences of the disease process because she is constantly and closely watching her baby. Methodology: pre experimental (one group pretest and posttest) design was adopted for this study. The study was conducted at postnatal ward AIIMS Raipur with sample size of 30 primipara mothers. Non probability convenient sampling technique was adopted to select the sample. The data was collected by means of self-structured questionnaire to assess the knowledge among primipara mothers. Result: The mean score of pre-test was 15.36 and mean score of post-test was 22.4 and the mean improvement was 7.04, which is 45.83% of total primipara mothers. The paired ‘t’ value obtained for knowledge was 10.41 which was found significant at 0.05 level (p<0.05) which is 2.05. Which result shows that significantly an improvement in the knowledge of the primipara mothers after the structured teaching programme (STP) on selected minor ailments of newborn.

There are many possible breast abnormalities that breastfeeding mothers may encounter. Identifying these issues are very important to continue a healthful breastfeeding relationship with the child. The research approach selected for the study is quantitative research approach quasi experimental design with one group pre and post test design. Through the Non probability purposive sampling technique was used to select 60 primigravid mothers from Urban Health Centre. Demographic variables were collected by using a structured questionnaire. Planned teaching programme was given to the primigravid mothers by using charts, models, and pamphlets. Post test was conducted after giving planned teaching programme. The collected data were analysed based on the objectives using Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for analysis and interpretation of data. The study results revealed that the pretest knowledge mean score was 18 ± 2. After the planned teaching programme, the posttest knowledge mean score was 24 ± 2. The calculated paired‘t’ test value19 was greater than the table value 1.96 which is highly significant at p < 0.05 level. Hence the research hypothesis H1was accepted. The study was a significant increase in the levels of knowledge, after planned teaching programme among primigravid mothers regarding breast feeding problems.
