The neonate is placed on cloth with shoulders at fold and feet toward the opposite corner, with the infant right arm straight down against the body neonate right shoulder and chest and beneath left side of the body. This procedure is called as mummifying, carried out to prevent loss due to large surface area. Thermoregulation is critical for both premature babies infants because they must shift from intrauterine to extra-uterine life. Evaporation, conduction, convection, and radiation are all ways for newborns to lose heat. The purpose of the mummification is to prevent neonatal hypothermia. Aim of the study: A study to assess the effectiveness of demonstration on mummification skill among primipara mothers. Material and method: A quantitative research design used in this study. A study was conducted in selected hospitals of Pune city.. Non- probability purposive sampling technique was used. Total 100 samples of primipara mothers were included in this study. Self-structured observational checklist used for skill of mummification. The collected data were analyses by using descriptive, frequency and percentage statistics. The chi-square is used to see the association between demographic variable and skill outcome. Results: The study shows that 43% Primipara mothers were from 18-24 years of age group, 61% were unemployed and 61% Primipara mothers from urban area. The source of information majority 34% were got information from mothers. The findings related to Pre-interventional skill among primipara mothers regarding mummification is 55% were having average skills and 45% were having poor skills . Post-interventional skill among primipara mothers regarding mummification all were having good skills. Mean score was 13.11 with SD + 0.87.Conclusion: This study revealed that after demonstration of mummification mothers were showed good skill and There is no significant association between knowledge and demographic variables because p value is more than 0.05 level of significance.
