Background.
Globally 4 million newborns die every year before they reach the age of one month and approximately 3.4 million newborns die within the first week of life.
Of these deaths, 66% occur during the 1st 24 hours.
Late death, i.e., after 24 hours, still occurs 34% and may be prevented if mothers have knowledge about newborn care including dangers sign of newborn.
Objective.
The aim of the study was to assess level of knowledge and associated factors of postnatal mothers towards essential newborn care practices at governmental health centers in Addis Ababa.
Methodology.
Institutional-based cross-sectional study with internal comparison was conducted using multistage sampling method in AA health centers from December 5 to January 30, 2016.
Result.
A total of 512 mothers who came for postnatal visit were interviewed using structured pretest questionnaires.
Knowledge was assessed using closed and open ended questions.
Poor knowledge has strong association with women’s occupation (AOR = 2.10, 95% CI : (1.38,3.20)).
Parity of the women was found as one of significant predictors for poor knowledge of essential newborn care.
Women who were primiparas are 1.99 times more likely to have poor knowledge of ENC compared to women who were multiparas AOR = 1.99,95% CI: (1.25,3.20).
The other significant predictors for poor knowledge of ENC were ANC visit.
Women who had less than four antenatal visits were 0.63 times less likely to have poor knowledge than those who visit four times and above.
AOR = 0.63, 95% CI:( 0.40,0.99).
Conclusion.
Maternal education programs should be given emphasis for the components of ENC for mothers’ knowledge gaps.
Special emphasis needs to be placed when educating vulnerable groups including those who failed to fully attend antenatal clinic visits.
