Abstract

Every life is precious, yet lack of knowledge about neonatal danger signs often delays care and increases infant mortality. Mothers, as primary caregivers, play a vital role in early recognition of illness. This pre-experimental one-group pre-test/post-test study evaluated the effectiveness of a Video Assisted Teaching Module (VATM) on knowledge regarding selected danger signs in young infants among primi mothers at Capital Hospital, Bhubaneswar, Odisha. Sixty primi mothers were selected through non-probability purposive sampling. Data were collected using a self-structured questionnaire on key danger signs such as poor feeding, pneumonia, jaundice, hypothermia, and diarrhea. Pre-test findings revealed that 73.3% of participants had poor knowledge and 26.7% had average knowledge. After the VATM intervention, 68.3% demonstrated good knowledge and 31.7% showed average knowledge, with no participant remaining in the poor category. A paired t-test yielded a value of 31.68 at the 0.05 significance level, indicating a highly significant improvement in knowledge. Chi-square analysis showed a significant association between pre-test knowledge and the variables of education status (χ²=12.97, p
