Amaç: Bu çalışma annelerin yenidoğan tehlike işaretleri hakkındaki bilgilerinin incelenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Kesitsel ve tanımlayıcı tipte bir çalışmadır. Çalışma Türkiye’nin güneydoğusunda bir çocuk hastanesinde yapılmıştır. Çalışmanın örneklemini 0-12 ay arasında bebeği olan, iletişim engeli olmayan, çalışmaya katılmayı kabul eden 214 anne oluşturmuştur. Veriler Demografik Bilgiler Soru Formu ve Yenidoğan Tehlike İşaretleri Bilgi Formu kullanılarak yüzyüze görüşme yöntemiyle elde edilmiştir.
Bulgular: Annelerin tehlike işaretleri bilgi puan ortalaması 9.78±3.41 olarak bulunmuştur. Annelerin %88.3’ünün “iyi” bilgi düzeyindedir. Anneler en yüksek oranda %81.8’i öksürük ve ishali, %80.4’ü yüksek ateşi, %79’u kusma ve beslenememe durumunu tehlike işareti olarak bildirmiştir. Annelerin tehlike işaretleri bilgi durumunu (yüksek/düşük) etkileyen faktörler binary lojistik regresyon analizi ile incelenmiş, gelir durumunun etkilediği belirlenmiştir (p<0.05). Annelerin tehlike işaretlerini bilme ve deneyimleme oranı yüksek olmasına rağmen sağlık kurumuna başvuru düşük olarak tespit edilmiştir.
Sonuç: Annelerin yenidoğan tehlike işaretleri konusunda yapılması gerekenlere yönelik bilgilendirilmesi önerilmiştir.

Aim: This study was performed to investigate mothers' knowledge of neonatal danger signs.
Materials and Methods: The present research is a cross-sectional and descriptive study. The study was carried out in a children's hospital in the southeast of Turkey. The study sample consisted of 214 mothers who had infants aged between 0-12 months, did not have communication barriers, and agreed to participate in the study. Data were collected by the face-to-face interview method using the Demographic Information Questionnaire and the Neonatal Danger Signs Information Form.
Results: The mean danger signs knowledge score of the mothers was found to be 9.78±3.41. The knowledge of 88.3% of the mothers was at a "good" level. The mothers reported cough and diarrhea as danger signs at the highest rate of 81.8%, fever at a rate of 80.4%, and vomiting and malnutrition at a rate of 79%. The factors affecting the mothers' knowledge of danger signs (high/low) were examined by binary logistic regression analysis, and it was found that income status affected their knowledge (p<0.05). Although the mothers' knowledge and experience of danger signs were high, they presented to health institutions at a low level.
Conclusion: It was recommended that mothers should be informed about the things that must be done regarding neonatal danger signs.
