Abstract:
Umbilical cord care remains a critical aspect of newborn health, yet practices vary significantly across different cultures and healthcare settings. This paper aims to provide an updated synthesis of the factors influencing umbilical cord care among mothers. The umbilical cord is a vital link between the fetus and the placenta during pregnancy, but after birth, it requires proper care to prevent infections. Numerous factors influence a mother\'s approach to umbilical cord care, including cultural beliefs, socio-economic status, access to healthcare information, and traditional practices passed down through generations. Understanding these factors is crucial for healthcare providers to offer tailored guidance and support to mothers, ensuring the optimal care for newborns. This paper examines recent research and literature encompassing diverse cultural perspectives, socio-economic considerations, healthcare access, and educational interventions related to umbilical cord care. It also highlights the impact of technological advancements, such as telemedicine and digital health platforms, in disseminating crucial information to mothers, especially in remote or underserved areas. Moreover, the review delves into the role of healthcare professionals in promoting evidence-based practices and addressing misconceptions regarding umbilical cord care. It emphasizes the importance of culturally sensitive and context-specific interventions in enhancing maternal knowledge and practices related to neonatal care. In conclusion, this review presents an updated overview of the multifactorial influences on umbilical cord care among mothers. It calls for continued research and concerted efforts to bridge gaps in knowledge, cultural beliefs, and healthcare access, ultimately contributing to the promotion of optimal newborn health outcomes.
