The procedure passed through four phases; interviewing and assessment, designing, implementation, and evaluation phase. Results: Pre intervention study design showed that the majority of the sample in both the study and control groups had poor lactation and it is related with knowledge and practices compared to post intervention. About 74% of the study group had good knowledge, whereas the control group had no significant difference from pre intervention (P ≤ 0.001). It was seen that 72.0% of the study group-initiated breast feeding directly after delivery compared to only 25.0% of the control group. 63% of control versus 39% in study faced breast problems. Conclusion In pre-intervention, most of the members of both study and control group primi moms had poor knowledge and practice about breastfeeding and breastfeeding issues, according to the study's findings. As a result, the program and the booklet distributed were effective in increasing knowledge and practice of lactation problems in primi gravidae.

Knowledge among Pregnant Women Regarding Pregnancy-Induced Hypertension at a Public Hospital in Malaysia

“…Another study done by Ibrahiem (2022) reported booklet distribution during the antenatal clinic will increase the knowledge among primi gravidae mothers. This study was focused on the lactation problem, but the nurses can implement this for PIH information, especially for primi gravidae mothers, and it may help to increase the mothers' knowledge (Ibrahiem et al, 2022).…”

“…A Malaysian study has indicated that women's own past experiences of abnormal pregnancy or labor led to increased knowledge regarding the dangerous signs in pregnancy (Teng et al, 2015). Another study done by Ibrahiem (2022) reported booklet distribution during the antenatal clinic will increase the knowledge among primi gravidae mothers. This study was focused on the lactation problem, but the nurses can implement this for PIH information, especially for primi gravidae mothers, and it may help to increase the mothers' knowledge (Ibrahiem et al, 2022).…”
