Brief Summary

The first few weeks of an infant’s life is an important time for the formation of healthy

attachment between newborn and mother.



Integrating mothers in a newborn’s care

during hospitalisation can maintain newborn- parent unity, promote supportive developmental

care, and facilitate stable newborn and parent attachment.



There are not enough studies on maternal education in conducting essential newborn care in

NICU and in Dakshina Kannada.

Therefore in this study I would like to implement video based education and assess the

effect of such intervention on maternal Essential newborn care skills on preterm babies .
