The newborn care practice of mothers is a crucial issue for a newborn’s health status in order to reduce newborn morbidity and mortality. This descriptive correlational study aimed to examine the level of newborn care practices and self-efficacy, and the relationship between newborn care practices and self-efficacy among Bangladeshi mothers. The subjects were 105 mothers who provided newborn care at home and took their baby to receive vaccinations at an immunization center in Comilla Medical College Hospital when their baby was 6 - 8 weeks old. Data collection was carried out from May to June, 2015. The research instruments included the Newborn Care Practices of Mothers (NCPM) questionnaire and the Perceived Maternal Parenting Self-Efficacy (PMP S-E) tool, which were translated into Bangla by the researcher and were confirmed for validity by the experts. Their reliability coefficient was .87 and .81 respectively. Data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics and Spearman correlation coefficient.
The findings revealed that: all of sample showed newborn care practices at a moderate level (88.57%) with a mean score of 83.20 (SD = 6.55). Self-efficacy on newborn care score was at a moderate level (68.57%) with a mean score of 57.15 (SD = 5.88). Self-efficacy on newborn care had a statistically significant positive relationship with newborn care practices (r = .55, p <0.000).
The results of this study can be used by nurses in order to promote newborn care practices and self-efficacy regarding newborn care among Bangladeshi mothers.
