The problem
Intervention: Assessment of knowledge levels using The Knowledge of Nurturing Care Inventory, a 60-question tool covering the five components of the Nurturing Care Framework
Who it was tested with: Expectant mothers (n=91) and fathers (n=12) in Turkey in their second or third trimester of pregnancy.
Experience from people who deliver programmes: stories, case studies and lessons learned. Valuable for understanding how and why, and for spotting what to test next, but not a measure of effect.
"Nurturing Care (NC) knowledge and awareness levels of expectant mothers and fathers in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters of pregnancy were determined via the online form of 'The Knowledge of Nurturing Care Inventory (KNCI)' prepared by the researchers." This is a descriptive assessment of existing knowledge without intervention or outcome measurement, making it a practitioner-level study that identifies gaps but cannot demonstrate effectiveness in improving child well-being.
Study design cannot assess whether knowledge translates into improved child outcomes or parenting behaviors; severe gender imbalance in sample (88.3% women) limits generalizability of gender comparisons; no comparison group or intervention group to measure impact on actual child development.
