Background of the Study
Maternal and child health (MCH) remains a critical public health concern in Nigeria, with high rates of maternal and infant mortality reported annually. Many of these deaths are preventable through proper education and access to healthcare services (Ibrahim & Hassan, 2023). Nurse-led teaching interventions have emerged as a key strategy for improving maternal and child health outcomes by empowering women with knowledge on prenatal care, nutrition, family planning, immunization, and neonatal care (Williams & Garba, 2024).
In Kano State, where cultural and socioeconomic factors influence healthcare access, educating mothers on best practices for maternal and child health is essential. Nurses, particularly those in community health settings, play a crucial role in delivering targeted health education interventions that enhance maternal awareness and encourage healthy behaviors (Okafor & Musa, 2024). Despite their importance, the effectiveness of nurse-led teaching interventions in Kano State has not been adequately evaluated, necessitating this study.
Statement of the Problem
Maternal and child health indicators in Kano State remain suboptimal, partly due to limited awareness of essential health practices among women. Many women in rural areas have low health literacy levels, which affects their ability to seek appropriate healthcare services (Hassan & Sanni, 2024). While nurse-led teaching interventions aim to bridge this knowledge gap, their impact on maternal and child health outcomes in Kano State is yet to be fully assessed.
Without evaluating the effectiveness of these interventions, it is difficult to determine whether they are adequately improving maternal and child health education and whether adjustments are needed to enhance their impact. This study seeks to assess the effectiveness of nurse-led teaching interventions in Kano State and identify ways to optimize these programs for better health outcomes.
Objectives of the Study
- To examine the effectiveness of nurse-led teaching interventions in improving maternal and child health education in Kano State.
- To identify the challenges faced by nurses in delivering maternal and child health education.
- To recommend strategies for enhancing nurse-led teaching interventions in maternal and child health.
Research Questions
- How effective are nurse-led teaching interventions in improving maternal and child health education in Kano State?
- What challenges do nurses face in delivering maternal and child health education?
- What strategies can be implemented to improve nurse-led teaching interventions?

Scope and Limitations of the Study
This study focuses on nurse-led maternal and child health education programs in Kano State, assessing their effectiveness in increasing maternal health knowledge and behavior. Limitations may include variations in nurses’ training, differences in cultural acceptance of health education, and access to healthcare services.
