Abstract:
Background: Neonatal danger signs contribute to the high mortality of neonates in developing countries. Delays in recognition of danger signs and the decision to seek care contribute to most neonatal deaths in Ethiopia. Therefore, the current study aimed to assess mothers’ knowledge and associated factors on neonatal danger signs in Nekemte town, Western Ethiopia. Methods: The current community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Nekemte, Ethiopia, in March ۲۰۱۹. The sample included ۷۲۷ mothers who had given birth within the past ۱۲ months. A multistage sampling technique was utilized to recruit participants and data were collected using face-to-face interviews. The collected data were entered into EPI info (version ۷.۲.۰.۱) and analyzed using SPSS (version ۲۳). To evaluate the knowledge of neonatal danger signs, a median score was used as the cut-off point. Mothers who spontaneously mentioned at least five danger signs were considered to have good knowledge of neonatal danger signs. Bivariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to identify factors associated with knowledge of danger signs. Results: Of ۷۲۷ participants, ۷۰۷ mothers were interviewed, yielding a response rate of ۹۸.۳%. The median age of the participants was ۲۷ years, with an interquartile range of ± ۵. The result of the study indicated that ۵۵.۶% [۹۵%CI (۵۲.۱% - ۵۹.۳%)] of mothers had good knowledge of neonatal danger signs. The adds ratio of having good knowledge of neonatal danger signs were associated with being married [AOR=۲.۸۷, ۹۵%CI (۱.۲۷, ۶.۵۲)], mother’s educational status of secondary level or higher [AOR= ۱.۷۱, ۹۵%CI (۱.۰۳, ۲.۸۴)], antenatal care visits of four and more [AOR=۱.۵۸, ۹۵%CI (۱.۰۹, ۲.۳۱)], and postnatal follow-up [AOR=۲.۱۳, ۹۵%CI (۱.۳۹, ۳.۲۷)]. Furthermore, delivery at health institutions [AOR=۳.۱۱, ۹۵%CI (۱.۱۰, ۸.۷۶)], access to TV [AOR=۱.۵۸, ۹۵%CI (۱.۰۵, ۲.۳۷)], and Internet use [AOR=۲.۳۹, ۹۵%CI (۱.۵۲, ۳.۷۷)] were also significantly associated with good knowledge. Conclusion: The proportion of mothers with good knowledge of neonatal danger signs was found to be low. Therefore, it is recommended to enhance counseling services during antenatal care and strengthen community-based health information dissemination efforts related to neonatal danger signs.
