Educational Program for Pregnant Women Regarding Obstetrics Dangerous Signs in Rural Areas

Abstract

Background: Complications linked to postpartum & pregnancy are one of the major causes of female death. In order to understand the causes of complications and encourage women to take sufficient action in order to receive emergency treatment, a critical step should therefore be taken to minimize complications related to pregnancy, in order to ensure the safety of both women and newborns. Aim of the work: Evaluate the effectiveness of the education programs for pregnant women on obstetric danger signs in rural areas and help minimize the incidence of pregnancy loss and comorbidities. Methods: A quasi-experimental design on 70 women from a population of through 372 women in six-month in antenatal clinics recruited from the previously mentioned settings with pre-and post-test was conducted at antenatal clinics (M.C.H centers) affiliated to the available geographical health zones in EL-fayoum rural area including: Al-sheikh hassan at sanorse. We collected the data of women characteristics by a self-administered interview questionnaire & a structured reported knowledge and practices checklist to evaluate pregnant women practices and knowledge. Follow up was done to the studied groups & histopathology assessments of the product of conception in cases of abortion secondary to the complications to compare between

Effect of Community-Based Health Education Led by Women’s Groups on Mothers’ Knowledge of Obstetric Danger Signs and Birth Preparedness and Complication Readiness Practices in Southern Ethiopia: A Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial<strong> </strong>

“…Community-based HEI increased the likelihood of women's knowledge regarding ODS. Consistent results were reported from the studies done in Sokoto State, Nigeria [71], rural Egypt [72], Lagos State, Nigeria [73], Zagazig University Hospitals [74], Nicaragua [75], and Cairo University Hospitals [76]. The reason could be that most earlier studies revealed that advanced levels of education were linked to enhanced cognitive skills, improved information processing abilities, and better values, which help to increase knowledge [77][78][79].…”

“…However, evidence is lacking to comprehensively assess the effects of knowledge learned from HEI on MHSU. Thus, our studies in another paper evaluated whether this knowledge of ODS obtained from HEI might be changed into an increase in MHSU in a study setting similar to those observed following intervention in Nigeria [71], Egypt [72], and Nicaragua [75]. Thus, HEI could be a beneficial supplement to women's education in rural areas, increasing the utilization of MHS and preventing delays in emergency obstetric care.…”

Efforts to Increase Pregnant Women's Knowledge About High-Risk Pregnancy With Health Education

“…The education program has effectively improved mothers' knowledge and practices regarding danger signs for pregnant women in rural areas, with highly statistically significant differences across all items tested between pre-and post-program implementation, with a value of (P < 0.001). (Gobran et al, 2021) 13.…”

Women’s Knowledge and Attitudes about Complications during Pregnancy and Childbirth in Guinea

“…Other complications listed were miscarriage and abortion [4] [13], oedema and poor presentation [11] [12] [14] [16] [17]. In addition, prolonged labor [15] [17] and intrauterine fetal death [13] are also listed. Further, high frequencies of headache and fever have also been reported by some authors [10] [14] [17] as well as premature rupture of membranes [18].…”
