Two hundred pregnant women were included. Epi Info version 3.5.1. Percentages, and Chi square test were used for statistical analysis.
Results:
Due to implementation of BCC package, institutional deliveries improved (RR = 2.47, P < 0.05), delivery practices significantly increased (RR = 2.47, P < 0.05). There was significant difference regarding breastfeeding practices on 7th and 28th d of delivery. More (80 %) deliveries were conducted in warm room (RR = 1.87, p < 0.05), bathing to the baby was delayed (RR = 0.81, p < 0.05) and decreased, vigorous removal of vernix caseosa was observed (RR = 0.45, p < 0.05). Correct knowledge about danger signs and physiological conditions in newborns were increased (RR = 2.5.0, p < 0.05 for cold to touch, RR = 1.22, p < 0.05 for peeling of skin).
