Abstract
Background: To decrease neonatal morbidity and mortality, it is important to increase awareness
about neonatal jaundice in high-risk primigravidas and develop a practical approach toward this.
This study aimed to examine the effect of antenatal sessions on postnatal knowledge and practices
regarding neonatal jaundice among high-risk primigravidas. Study design: A quasi-experimental,
comparative study was utilized. Setting: The study was performed at Antenatal Clinics of
Obstetrics and Gynecological Specialty Center at Mansoura University Hospital, Egypt. Subjects:
The study included a purposive sample of 122 high-risk primigravid women. Tools: Data were
collected using a structured interview schedule and women reported knowledge and practices
regarding neonatal jaundice. Results: The mean knowledge and postnatal practice scores were
significantly increased in the study group and decreased in the control group. Conclusion: Holding
antenatal sessions about neonatal jaundice for high-risk primigravidas were effective in instilling
satisfactory knowledge and adequate practical skills about postnatal care for babies exhibiting
neonatal jaundice. Recommendations: Maternity, pediatric, and community nurses should be
encouraged to take an active role in conducting antenatal sessions suitable for high-risk
primigravidas regarding neonatal health problems.
