Abstract
The rearing of children is especially the care, love and guidance given by a parent. It is affected by their health and nutritional status, their genetic potential as well the quality of their home environment. They often are unaware that their child rearing practices can affect their children's cognitive and language development. They fail to appreciate the importance of playing and chatting with young children. They may be unaware of age appropriate activities to do with their children. The study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of educational intervention package on knowledge and practice regarding child rearing among mothers of infant. The hypothesis formulated was that there is a significant association between the educational intervention package and level of knowledge and practice regarding child rearing among mothers of infant. The review of literature included the related studies which provided a strong foundation for the study including the basis for conceptual framework and the formation of tool. The research design used for this study was pre experimental one group pre test post test design. It was carried out with 100 samples who fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Purposive sampling technique was used to select the samples. A self administered tool was given to the mothers to assess the pre test level of knowledge and practice regarding child rearing. Educational intervention package was given to the mothers for a period of 30-45 minutes. The post test was assessed after 5-7 days by using the same scale. The analysis revealed that the pre test level of knowledge regarding child rearing mean score was 12.25 with the standard deviation of 3.46 and the post test level of knowledge mean score was 19.79 with the standard deviation of 3.47. The pre test practice mean score was 8.40 with the standard deviation of 2.47and the post test practice mean score was 15.84 with the standard deviation of 2.48. The paired ‘t’ test value was 20.7 and 22.17 which was statistically very high significant at level of p < 0.001. The Karl Pearson correlation coefficient value of r = 0.57 at the level p < 0.01 which showed moderate correlation between post test level of knowledge and practice regarding child rearing among mothers of infant. Hence it indicates the effectiveness of educational intervention package on child rearing among mothers of infant. So the research hypothesis was accepted for the study.
