BACKGROUND: Breastfeeding offers a lot of benefits to both the mother and infant. The World Health Organization (WHO) even recommended breastfeeding as an effective way in promoting infant nutrition. However, despite of advancing medical technology, breastfeeding practice is continually declining in Saudi Arabia as caused by a variety of factors. AIM: The aim of this research is to assess the knowledge on breastfeeding, its prevalence, and the socio-demographic factors affecting the knowledge of mothers attending a well-baby clinic in primary health care centers in Makkah. Methodology: The researcher conducted a cross-sectional survey to working mothers attending a well-baby clinic in primary health care centers in Makkah. Mothers of childbearing age and of any nationality were included in this study. A self-administered questionnaire involving three main sections, namely: socio-demographic information, level of knowledge, and attitude of mothers was utilized for data collection. Results: Majority of the respondents score correctly in 19 out of 20 knowledge items concerning breastfeeding practice. Relating the socio-demographic characteristics of participants towards their breastfeeding knowledge, the average knowledge score was found to range from 13 to 14, suggesting that the sampling population have an average knowledge on breastfeeding and its benefits. Mothers with infant delivered via spontaneous vaginal delivery and with housemaid were reported to have higher mean knowledge scores and are deemed to have better knowledge towards breastfeeding. Likewise, those who breastfed until 6 months, those who stopped breastfeeding after 12 months, and those who introduced supplemental food between 4 and 6 months garnered a higher mean knowledge scores. On the other hand, mothers who consulted their doctor on choosing artificial milk as well as those whose milk had been changed more than once had gotten a lower mean knowledge score. Conclusion: The result of self-administered questionnaire suggests that the sampling population have an average knowledge on breastfeeding and its benefits. Factors such as nationality, occupation of the mother, and mode of infant delivery were not significantly associated to breastfeeding practice. On the other hand, experiencing the SVD or CS mode of infant delivery and having housemaids can aid in the dissemination of breastfeeding knowledge.

Pain is a complex, multidimensional experience. For many people, it is a major problem which causes suffering and reduces quality of life. It is one of the major reasons that prompts people to seek health care. A "Quantitative research approach" was used in the present study. The pre-experimental research design was used. The setting of the study was Dhanwantri Nursing Institutions and Sri Venkateshwara College of Nursing. The population of the present study was B.Sc. Nursing students. Samples for the present study were the students studying B.Sc. Nursing. A probability random sampling strategy was utilized for the present study. The sample size of the present study was 100 B.Sc. Nursing Students. The results of the pre-test knowledge assessment revealed interesting findings regarding the care and prevention of complications of spinal anesthesia among B.Sc. nursing students. The highest frequency of scores fell within the range of 51-60, with 22 students achieving scores within this range. This suggests that a considerable number of students had a moderate level of knowledge regarding spinal anesthesia. However, the number of students scoring in higher ranges gradually decreased, indicating a smaller proportion of students with a deeper understanding of the topic. These findings highlight the variability in knowledge levels among the participants. To further evaluate the significance of the pre-test knowledge scores, a t-test was conducted comparing the mean score of 58.5 (assumed baseline knowledge) with the actual pre-test scores. The calculated t-value of 9.55 indicated a significant difference between the pre- test knowledge scores and the assumed baseline knowledge score. The results indicated a significant difference between the pre test knowledge scores and the assumed baseline knowledge, emphasizing the need for educational interventions to improve students' knowledge in this area. The mean pre-test score was found to be 58.5, indicating the baseline knowledge level of the participants. After the intervention, the mean post-test score significantly increased to 73.5. The standard deviation of the pre-test scores was 8.9, while the post-test scores had a standard deviation of 7.6. The calculated t-value of 19.74 indicated a significant difference between the pre-test and post test scores. In conclusion, the analysis of post-test knowledge scores among B.Sc. nursing students reveals a significant improvement in their understanding of the care and prevention of complications related to spinal anesthesia.
