Abstract

Background: Skin-to-skin contact (SSC) is an indispensable part of essential maternal and newborn care steps. However, the percentage of mothers who correctly understand SSC and apply this method correctly is still low. Differences in culture, education level, and language of communication have greatly affected the access to maternal health care and newborn care services. The results of this study were to determine the factors related to knowledge and practice of skin-to-skin contact among ethnic minority mothers at the Central Highlands General Hospital. Objectives: Identify factors affecting knowledge and practice for skin to skin contact of ethnic minority mothers at the Central Highlands Regional General Hospital. Materials and method: An intervention study with a 4-step control group designed. The intervention group received improved counseling, control groups routine counseling. Each group was put into a separate room, they were evaluated at 2 points of time, their practice score evaluated immediately postpartum. Each group's knowledge and practice was recorded and analyzed. Results: Multivariate analysis with linear regression showed that education level, knowledge score before intervention and intervention therapy were positively and independently correlated with the practice score of pregnant women. 62.1% of the change in knowledge score after intervention of pregnant women is related to education level, pre-intervention knowledge score and intervention therapy. Conclusion: 43.2% of the change in maternal practice scores was due to the change in the pre-intervention and therapy knowledge scores, further studies are needed to measure this effects.
