Abstract:

Over 70% of child deaths in India are caused by five prevalent diseases: fever (15%), ARI (6%), gut separation (9%), hunger (46%), and often a mix of these six.  The IMNCI method was implemented to address kid concerns.  An organized ANM teaching program on IMNCI principles in Dehradun, Uttarakhand, is evaluated in this study.  This pre-experimental, one-group pre-test, post-test design study investigated the effects of STP on ANMs' knowledge of IMNCI standards for assessing and treating unwell young babies by creating an information booklet. The 60 ANMS in chosen health centers used a pre-experimental, one-group pre-test post-test design.  After STP administration, 63% of post-test knowledge scores were adequate, and 37% were moderate for assessment and treatment of ill young infants aged up to 2 months based on IMNCI standards.  Post-test knowledge (22.60) is significantly greater than pre-test (13.40).  This study found that the structured instruction program improved ANMs' awareness of IMNCI standards for assessing and treating ill new-borns up to 2 months old.  Therefore, the study shows that teaching programs and health campaigns to improve IMNCI guidelines' knowledge and abilities are necessary.
