Fathers’ knowledge of neonatal danger signs and its associated factors in Northwest Ethiopia: a community-based cross-sectional study

20241 citationOpen accessDebre Markos University

Abstract

Fathers' knowledge of neonatal danger signs was found to be low. Therefore, substantial efforts are needed to enhance their knowledge. It is essential to develop strategies that actively involve fathers in the continuum of postnatal care for both mothers and newborns. Additionally, providing targeted information on neonatal danger signs through health professionals can significantly improve fathers' knowledge.
