Action note: In: Summary: ABSTRACT: Newborn Screening is a preventive public health program with the aim of early identification of five metabolic disorders that if left untreated can lead to mental retardation and death (Padilla, 2008). Newborn screening is essential to ensure a normal and productive life to a newborn, but still it seems that many parents are not well informed about its essence. This study aimed to evaluate the understanding of postpartum mothers at public lying-in clinics of District V about Newborn Screening based on information dissemination. Specifically, the study determined the following: the demographic profile of the respondents in terms of age, educational attainment, and economic status; the extent of the respondent's understanding from information dissemination about Newborn Screening in terms of its background and delivery process; the problems that hinder the respondent's understanding from the information dissemination about Newborn Screening; and whether there is a significant relationship between the demographic profile and the understanding of the respondents. The descriptive survey research design was used in the conduction of the study. Purposive sampling technique was also utilized to select and quantify their respondents. The researchers adopted and modified their questionnaire from the published thesis entitled, Evaluation of NBS Program on Knowledge Attitude and Compliance among Mothers by Mariano (March 2007). The said questionnaire was subjected to content validation by the faculty instructors of the College of Nursing. Statistical treatments that were used to interpret data were frequency and percentage distribution, weighted mean average, and chi-square formula. The findings showed that 43.33% of the total respondents were ages 21-25 years old, 70% were high school graduate, and 46.67% were below average wager. The extent of the respondents understanding about Newborn Screening in terms of its background garnered a weighted mean average of 3.24 with an interpretation of moderately understood while their understanding about the delivery process of the Newborn Screening resulted to a weighted mean of 2.31 with an interpretation of poorly understood. The problems that hinder the respondents understanding were as follows: lack of financial resources to avail the said test and lack of time to participate due to work constraint. The inferential statistics showed that age has no significant relationship to the respondents understanding about Newborn Screening. On the other hand, educational attainment and economic status both have a significant relationship to the respondents understanding about Newborn Screening. With the findings and conclusions that resulted, the researchers recommend to the health care professionals to continue their strong advocacy for information dissemination about Newborn Screening: that the mothers should be advised to save money worth Php 600 for the Newborn Screening during their prenatal visits; that mothers should also be informed about the results of Newborn Screening is; and lastly, to plan a quarterly community health teaching at the barangay level and at most having house-to-house teaching to ensure proper and sufficient delivery of information about Newborn Screening to mothers who do not have time to consult at health centers or lying-ins due to financial and work constraints.
