Neonate are from birth to under four weeks of age that is less than 28 days, is called neonate or newborn. First week of life less than 7 days or less than 168 hours is known as early neonatal period. Late neonatal period extends from 7th to less than 28th day. It is an important link in the chain of events from conception to adulthood. The physical and mental well-being of an individual depends on the correct management of events in the perinatal period. The morbidity and mortality rates in newborn are high. In India, almost 7 out of 100 babies do not see their first birthday and nearly 65 percent of these infant deaths occur in the neonatal period, namely, the first four weeks of life. The current neonatal mortality rate in India is 45 per 1000 live births. Objective: 1) To assess the pretest knowledge of postnatal mothers regarding selected minor disorders of newborn.2) To assess the effectiveness of educational interventional package on selected minor disorders of newborn among postnatal mothers. 3) To determine the association between pretest knowledge scores on selected minor disorders of newborn with their selected demographic variables. Methodology: Quantitative approach was considered the most suitable, as the purpose of pre-experimental design is to gather data. Present study was selected hospitals at Mehsana Dist. Result: Result shows that prior to the administration of educational interventional package, 62% of the sample had poor knowledge (score: 0-12) regarding minor disorder of new born among postnatal mother. While average (score: 13-18) was observed in 38% of the sample and 00 % have good knowledge (score 19-25). In the post-test there was marked improvement in the knowledge of the sample with majority (74%) gained good knowledge and (26%) gained average knowledge. Result reveals that mean score on pre-test knowledge is 7.94 ± 3.37 and mean percentage is 31.76%, median is 8.00 and mode is 8.00. Whereas in post-test mean score is 17.90 ± 2.80 and mean percentage is 71.60, median is 20.00 and mode is 20.00 which reveals the difference in mean percentage is 39.84%. The pretest mean score on Knowledge is 7.94 ± 3.37 and posttest mean score is 17.90 ± 2.80 respectively. The ‘t’ value is 20.26 which is greater than the table value 1.678. Hence the research hypothesis H1 is retained at p ≤ 0.05 level. Thus, it becomes evident that planned teaching is effective in improving the knowledge regarding minor disorder of new born among post-natal mothers. The Chi-square value shows that there is a significance association between the knowledge and demographic variables such as education and there is a no significance association between the knowledge and demographic variables the calculated chi- square values were less than the table value at the 0.05 level of significance. Conclusion: The main conclusion drawn from this present study was that the knowledge of post-natal mothers was below average knowledge in pre - test. Post natal mothers were above knowledge after the administration of educational interventional package on minor disorder of new born in posttest. So, it was clearly stated that to acquire maximum level of knowledge, effective educational interventional package is essential.
