Abstract BACKGROUND: Preterm infants may engage in long pauses after 3-5 sucks during a sucking activity or they may not be able to initiate sucking spontaneously. Another sucking pattern that can be seen in preterm infants is dysfunctional sucking. In addition to immaturity features, neurological problems can also be a contributing factor for dysfunctional sucking pattern. The rate of dysfunctional and irregular sucking patterns in preterm infants was reported to be 50%. Moreover, it was reported that the aspiration rate was higher in preterm infants compared to term infants, and dysphagia was seen at a rate of 26% in preterm infants. Difficulties in transitioning to oral feeding in preterm infants often continue after discharge. OBJECTIVES. To assess the pre-test knowledge score regarding feeding issues in pre-term babies among mothers of selected hospitals of Indore. 2. To assess the effectiveness of the planned education program on knowledge regarding feeding issues in preterm babies among hospitals of Indore mothers of selected. 3. To find out the association between pre-test knowledge score regarding feeding issues in pre-term babies among mothers with their selected demographic variables. METHODOLOGY: A quantitative evaluative approach was used for the study. the size of the population included in the study was 30 mothers of preterm babies. They were chosen by a process of selecting a portion of the population to obtain data. The study was conducted on 30 mothers of preterm babies in SAIMS hospital at Indore. They were given a structured knowledge questionnaire for evaluating their response to assess the effectiveness of the structured teaching programme on knowledge regarding feeding issues in preterm babies. RESULTS: The existing knowledge regarding Danger sign of newborn among mothers of newborn was shown by pretest score and it is observed that most of the newborn mothers 6( 20%) were poor (0-5) 20%knowledge, some mothers 23(76.67%) were average (06-15) some mothers 02(6.67%) were good (16-30), And post test score was observed that the mothers were 01(3.33%) were poor (0-05) knowledge, mothers 16(53.33%) were average (06-15),8 mothers (26.67%) were good (16-30). INTERPRETATION AND CONCLUSION: The participants were given a structured knowledge questionnaire of 30 questions for assessing the knowledge and skills other than the demographic variable such as Age, gravida, family income, educational status, previous history of preterm birth, congenital abnormalities, and maternal health. The score was observed by the investigator. The knowledge gain (mean Standard Deviation) pre-test score was 7.7±2.44 (Mean = Standard Deviation) while in knowledge regarding Danger signs of newborn illness at SAIMS hospital Indore (M.P.). Hence, it is confirmed from the tables of section-II that there is an in significant difference in the mean of test scores, which partially fulfills the first and second objective of the present study. The knowledge in (mean Standard Deviation) post-test score was 14.8±3.52 while in knowledge regarding Danger sign of newborn illness at SAIMS hospital, Indore (M.P.). Hence, it is confirmed from the tables of section-II that there is a significant difference in the mean of test scores, which partially fulfills the first and second objectives of the present study.
