Impact, Self-instructional module, spoon and Paladai feeding, mothers of premature babies

Premature newborns may not be able to handle milk feedings immediately away since they are small at birth. While intravenous (IV) feedings offer vital nutrients to support your baby's growth, breast milk feedings promote healthier growth in infants. As a result, a large number of preemies grow poorly in the NICU and are underweight for their age when they are released from the hospital. More benefits of good feeding than merely longer and heavier preemies are seen. Breastfeeding promotes brain development in preemies. Better nutrition from birth helps premature babies grow larger brains and experience fewer developmental difficulties as they age. Preemies need to have strong catch-up growth during the first few months of life in order to support the development of their brains. Ideally, a baby should reach normal development by the time their corrected age is three months. This implies that a preemie should fall into the typical range for height, weight, and head circumference measures three months beyond the original due date. Objectives: 1) To evaluate the effectiveness of SIM on knowledge using spoon and paladai feeding among mothers of premature babies Approach: Evaluative approach was selected for the study. Design: Quasi-experimental (one group pretest and posttest) was selected for the study. Subjects: 60 mothers of premature babies. Sampling Technique: A purposive sampling technique was used to select the sample for study. Data Collection Tool: A structured questionnaire was used to collect data from the subjects. Data Analysis: The obtained data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics and interpreted in terms of objectives and hypothesis of the study. The level of significance was set at 0.05 levels. Results: 61.6% of the subjects showed adequate knowledge after treatment. No subjects were there with adequate knowledge during pre-test. Likewise, no subjects found with inadequate knowledge during post-test. In addition, percentage of people with moderate knowledge also increased from 36.6% to 38.3%.
