The Effect of Neonatal Jaundice Education on Mothers' Knowledge Level and the Incidence of Jaundice Development

This study was a randomised controlled trial conducted to determine the effect of the training given to mothers who gave birth by caesarean section in the obstetrics and gynaecology service clinic of Sultanbeyli State Hospital on the level of knowledge and the frequency of jaundice development. All participants who fulfil the inclusion criteria (86 in total) will be included in the study. The 'maternal data collection form' and 'information form on neonatal jaundice' will be applied to the pregnant women as a pre-test. Training will be planned for the participants in the intervention group in 2 sessions. Mothers in the control group will not receive this planned training. On the day of discharge, the 'neonatal jaundice information form' will be filled in again by the participants and the information scores will be recorded. After the intervention group is discharged, they will be called by telephone and jaundice symptoms will be questioned. After 1 month, the 'information form on neonatal jaundice' and 'neonatal follow-up form' will be filled in both groups and the information will be recorded.
