Abstract

Umbilical cord care is a critical aspect of newborn health, as inadequate practices can increase the risk of infection and lead to preventable complications. This study aimed to assess maternal knowledge regarding umbilical cord care and examine its relationship with the incidence of cord infection complications among primigravida mothers. Nineteen respondents participated in the study, and data were collected using a structured questionnaire. Univariate analysis was used to describe maternal characteristics and knowledge levels, while bivariate analysis employing Kendall’s tau-b was conducted to determine the association between knowledge and infection risk. The findings showed that most mothers had good knowledge of umbilical cord care, although some demonstrated fair or poor understanding. A proportion of newborns experienced infection risk, which was more common among mothers with lower knowledge levels. A strong negative correlation (τ = –0.707, p = 0.002) was identified between maternal knowledge and umbilical cord infection complications, indicating that higher knowledge significantly reduces the risk of infection. These results emphasize the importance of strengthening maternal education, particularly through audio-visual media, which can enhance comprehension and support correct cord care practices. Improving maternal awareness is essential for reducing infection risk and promoting better neonatal health outcomes.
