Dhaval Darji

In developing countries, neonatal mortality is one of the most neglected health problems in the health care system and, as a result, a public health problem. A study was conducted to assess the impact of factors and neonatal care practices on neonatal health in rural Bareilly district. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in a rural area of Bareilly. Study participants were selected based on mothers who had given birth within the previous 6 months. A mother who gave birth within her 6 months in this region was included and data were collected using a semi-structured questionnaire Of the 300 deliveries, nearly a quarter of deliveries, 66 (22%), were in private homes, and most deliveries, 234 (78%), were in hospital. Unsafe cord care practices were observed more frequently in nuclear families 8 (53.4%) than in joint families 7 (46.6%), and this was found to be not statistically significant. Unsafe diets were administered to 48 (72.7%) more home births than facility births 56 (23.9%). The incidence of delayed breastfeeding was about the same for both home-birth and hospital-birth mothers. Nearly three-quarters of mothers were delayed in bathing, with 125. Bareilly needs to improve basic neonatal care practices. Awareness needs to be raised among mothers and families about aspects of neonatal and preterm care such as: B. Promote exclusive and early initiation of breastfeeding and late bathing.
