  Children are the most vulnerable groups in society, whose health needs particular attention. However, children in kindergartens are more vulnerable to being infected than other children who are kept at home. The present study aimed to determine the effect of implementing a health-oriented program developed for care providers on the health outcomes of toddlers in kindergartens.

In the present interventional study, four kindergartens were non-randomly selected from among four districts in Semnan city, and then were randomly and equally divided into intervention and control groups. All eligible toddlers were selected by census (30 in the intervention, and 32 in the control group). Data collection tools included a demographic questionnaire and a checklist for toddlers' health problems. We developed, implemented, and evaluated a health-oriented program, based on recognition, protection, and planning to maintain and improve physical aspects of healthy behaviors to promote the health of toddlers in kindergartens. The results obtained were analyzed and compared to the control group in SPSS-21.

The chi-square test showed that the two groups matched in terms of demographic variables such as age, education, and marital status (P>0.05). The chi-square test also showed significant differences between intervention and control groups before and after intervention in terms of health outcomes (digestive P=0.007, respiratory P=0.003, skin P=0.001).

The present study results confirmed the effectiveness of implementing the health-oriented program on caregivers associated whit toddler health outcomes.

The attachment between mother and child is one of the most beautiful relationship which is establishes long before birth. A mother who is attached to her fetus is ready to have a good relationship with her newborn.

To determine the effect of touching fetus during pregnancy on maternal fetal and maternal newborn attachment. Design : The study was a single blind controlled clinical trial. Maternal total attachment was measured 2 weeks after abdominal touch in case group and compared with that of control group. Mother's attachment with her newborn was measured at first breast feeding in both groups. Samples : 100 primigravida mother, 32-35 week pregnant randomly divided in two groups, 50 mothers in case group (with fetal touch) and 50 in control group (without fetal touch)

There was no significant difference between two group regarding fetal attachment behaviors, but maternal newborn attachment behaviors were significantly improved in case group (p=0.000).

Regarding findings, it is suggested that by providing simple interferences, such as touching the fetus on can try to strengthen the relation between mother and her newborn.
