Abstract

The study’s conceptual framework, methodology, and tools were developed based on a review of relevant literature, drawing upon Ludwig von Bertalanffy’s general systems theory. The research was conducted across three settings: Orbit Multispeciality Hospital and Deshmukh Multispeciality Hospital in Akola. Employing an experimental single-group post-test design, the study focused on mothers with newborns. The study employed a method of random sampling to choose participants. The finds are that majority, 17 (56.6%) of experimental group had no infection. Least number of experimental groups 3 (30%) had moderate infection whereas none reported severe level of infection. Majority, 13 (43.33%) of control group had a mild infection. Least number, 3 (30%) had moderate infection in control group and 3 (30%) of control group had severe infection.

Keywords: Single-group post-test design, newborns, experimental group, mothers, severe infection
