Abstract
to evaluate the effect of educational video on newborn care to increase the knowledge of pregnant, postpartum, and family members. a quasi-experimental study, with pre-intervention and post-intervention evaluation with a single group. Fifty-eight pregnant, postpartum, and family members treated in basic health units and a hospital in Ceará, Brazil, participated. The study used the McNemar and binomial tests for the analysis. after the intervention, there was an increase in the frequency of hits, from 70.82% to 92.97%. Most of the questions presented a significant increase of hits (p < 0.05) with an emphasis on sleeping position, drying of clothes, free demand for breastfeeding, and things to avoid (such as accessories in the sleeping place and talc in diaper change). the educational video was effective to participants in acquiring knowledge on the care of newborns and can assist in health education activities carried out by nurses.

The birth of a child modifies the entire routine of the family unit It produces a mixture of feelings in caregivers, transforms the everyday life of parents and of the family[1], and requires the development of new skills, adaptation to the new routine, autonomy, and safety related to the newborn (NB) care. Even if mothers are the primary caregivers of their children, other family members can influence care decisions directed to the newborn or even assist parents in this role.
