Background: Perineal trauma, particularly caused following vaginal delivery, is associated with short and long-term morbidity for women; therefore, intervention that increases the probability of an intact perineum is necessary. When a child is born, the mother and the postnatal period are both extremely vulnerable. Objectives: 1. To assess the pretest knowledge regarding perineal care in primipara postnatal mothers. 2. To assess the posttest knowledge regarding perineal care in primipara postnatal mothers. 3. To assess the effectiveness of Self Instructional Module on knowledge regarding perineal care in primipara postnatal mothers. 4. To associate the posttest knowledge score regarding perineal care in primipara postnatal mothers with demographic variables. Materials and Methods: A pre-experimental one-group pretest and posttest design was adopted to assess the effectiveness of a self-instruction module on knowledge regarding perineal care among primipara postnatal mothers. This study was carried out using inferential and descriptive data. The techniques for testing knowledge regarding perineal care among primipara postnatal mothers are discussed in this chapter. It comprises a research method description, the design and validation of the tools and questionaries, the data collection procedure and data analysis plan, the identification of targets, and the sample and sampling techniques. Results: Better care with regular maintenance of hygiene of perineal area among the primipara postnatal mothers in selected area in Wardha district allow them from preventing from perineal discomfort and infection and a better quality of life with other intervention and by providing knowledge.
