Effectiveness of Self-instructional Pamphlet on Knowledge Regarding Burping Technique Among Primi Postnatal Mothers
Abstract
Burping, also known as belching or eructation, refers to the discharge or expulsion of gas from the digestive system, primarily originating from the esophagus and stomach, and exiting through the mouth. It is typically, though not always, accompanied by an audible sound. Burping is a significant responsibility that parents should continue to perform until their child becomes more independent. In certain instances, breastfeeding mothers may need to engage in a process of trial and error to identify the specific dietary factors that may be causing their baby's stomach discomfort. Objectives of the study were to assess the effect of self-instructional pamphlet on knowledge regarding burping technique among primi -postnatal mothers and to associate the level of knowledge with selected socio demographic variables. One- group pre-test and posttest only designs with 30 samples wereincluded. A self-administered validated knowledge questionnaire was used by the researchers to collect data. Most of the participants (40%) had adequate knowledge, 23% of participants had moderately adequate knowledge, and only 7% of participants had inadequate knowledge.
