Abstract

Back ground & Objectives: Obstetrical emergencies are most unpredictable complication that can be prevented by early identification, Pregnancy is arguably the magical time of a woman’s life and has its unique joys and challenges. The process is very noteworthy. The present study aimed toeffectiveness of Structured teaching programme on early identification of obstetrical emergencies among antenatal mother’s in selected hospital. Materials & methods: Quantitative Research with Pre-Experimental Research Design using a one-group pre-test post-test design among antenatal mothers. Data was collected from June 1st to June 8th, 2022 with sample size of 30, the sampling technique used was non-probability, purposive sampling. A structured questionnaire with multiple-choice questions was adapted. Data has been processed by SPSS 20 version then analyzed descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: Pretest knowledge regarding early identification of Obstetrical Emergencies among antenatal women before administration of Structured teaching programme. 63.3% (19) of the antenatal mothers had inadequate knowledge, 36.7% (11) of them had moderate knowledge score, and none of them are having adequate level of knowledge score.The pre-test and post-test level of knowledge score regarding on early identification of Obstetrical Emergencies among antenatal women, before and after administration of Structured teaching programmeare highly statistically significant at P≤0.05. Conclusion: A remarkable proportion of antenatal mothers have lack of knowledge on identification of Obstetrical Emergencies. Hence, early detection and quality of Multidimensional teaching approachof antenatal mothers needs to be awareness about early identification of Obstetrical Emergencies to improve the maternal, obstetric, and neonatal outcomes.
