Abstract

Background: Knowledge of obstetric warning signs is essential for timely intervention and improved maternal health. This study evaluates the awareness of these signs among pregnant women attending Vithhalrao Vikhe Patil Rural Hospital, Loni BK. Understanding this knowledge gap is critical, especially in rural settings where healthcare access may be limited.

Objectives: The primary objective of this study is to assess the knowledge of obstetric warning signs among pregnant women at the hospital. Additionally, the study aims to explore the association between this knowledge and various demographic factors.

Material and methods: A descriptive research design were employed with a sample of 100 pregnant women selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires designed to gauge participants' awareness of obstetric warning signs. The data were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics to assess knowledge levels and identify any significant associations.

Results: The study found varying levels of knowledge about obstetric warning signs among the participants. Results indicated that a significant portion of the sample had limited understanding of these critical signs. Analysis revealed notable associations between knowledge levels and certain demographic factors.

Conclusion: The findings highlight a need for enhanced educational programs targeting pregnant women to improve their awareness of obstetric warning signs. Such interventions could lead to better maternal and fetal outcomes by ensuring timely medical attention.
