Abstract
Deficits in maternal awareness of colostrum feeding methods are a substantial contributor to the illness and death of neonates that may have been prevented.An investigation of the parameters that are connected with maternal awareness regarding colostrum was the purpose of this research.The research was conducted using a quantitative cross-sectional design, with total population sample being used to include all 35 women who gave birth throughout the course of the study. Descriptive statistics and chi-square tests were also used. According to the findings, 57.1% of the participants exhibited a lack of information of colostrum, whereas 42.9% held a substantial amount of knowledge.Using bivariate analysis, it was determined that there were statistically significant associations between colostrum knowledge and all of the demographic variables that were examined. The most significant association was found to be between educational level (OR=36.000, p<0.001), followed by information source (OR=12.000, p=0.001), employment status (OR=11.333, p=0.002), and maternal age (OR=6.000, p=0.014).Implementing thorough risk stratification procedures is something that healthcare facilities should do in order to identify moms who have many disadvantaged traits for the purpose of targeted educational interventions. Additionally, these institutions should produce materials that are culturally acceptable and literacy-adapted in order to successfully address knowledge discrepancies.
