Knowledge of the Mothers of Under-Five Children Regarding Growth Assessment

Abstract

Background: In India, 12% of the population is under five years old. In India, the death rate for under-five children may reach 4.9% of total deaths. The formative five years of a child's life are crucial. Development and growth are essential at this time. Goals: To Evaluate Mothers' Knowledge of Growth Assessment Methods: To evaluate mothers' knowledge of growth assessment, a quasi-experimental one-group pretest and posttest design was employed. The sample size consisted of sixty mothers of children under five who were chosen from specific settings using a systematic random technique. Findings: A majority of the 53 moms (88.3%) are between the ages of 15 and 25. Conclusion: The research findings indicate that among moms aged 15 to 25, the majority (45%) had sufficient knowledge, followed by 36.7% with moderate knowledge and 6.5% with deficient knowledge.
