Abstract
The study assesses the effect of the Essential Newborn Care family package
health education messages delivered to pregnant mothers and their caregivers by
the Safe Motherhood Action Groups members (SMAGs) in a Maternity Waiting
Home (MWH) setting, using a client centered education methodology that uses
the Group Motivational Interviewing philosophy, on the mothers' Essential
Newborn Care (ENC) knowledge, mothers' ENC practice, and early neonatal
morbidity. The study also explored the prevailing newborn care practices in the
mothers' communities, and the mothers' level of satisfaction of the Essential
Newborn Care Group Motivational Interviewing Health Education (ENCGMI
HE) sessions.
