ASSESS THE EFFECTIVENESS OF A WARNESS PACKAGE ON KNOWLEDGE REGARDING PREGNANCY INDUCED HYERTENSION AND ITS PREVENTION AMONG PRIMIGRAVIDA MOTHERS AT SELECTED RURAL COMMUNITY AREA INDORE.

Abstract

Pregnant women in rural communities were asked to complete a survey on their level of knowledge
about pregnancy-induced hypertension and how to avoid it. The study used a pre-experimentational
research strategy. Self-structured knowledge questionnaires were used to gather data on the knowledge
of primigravida women on pregnancy-induced hypertension and ways to avoid it. PART-I had questions
about socio-demographic data; PART-II contained self-structured knowledge questionnaires. Descriptive
and inferential statistical approaches were used to examine the data. Pregnancy-induced hypertension
and its prophylaxis were only known to 16.67 percent of primigravida moms, compared to 50 percent
and 33.33 percent who had good or outstanding knowledge, respectively.
