Background: Every pregnant woman faces the possibility of unforeseeable pregnancy problems, which can result in morbidity or fatality for herself or her infant. As a result, the concept of birth preparedness and complication readiness was developed, in which the family and community should plan ahead of time to protect the safety and well-being of the women and their new-borns throughout pregnancy, delivery, and after delivery. In the event of pregnancy and delivery problems, delivery intrapartum, and after postpartum, good plans and preparations will enhance usage of professional care and reduce delays in receiving care. Good plans and preparations will increase the usage of expert care and reduce the time it takes to seek care in the case of pregnancy and delivery complications [1]. Objectives: 1. To assess the existing knowledge on obstetric danger signs, birth preparedness and complications readiness among primigravida mothers. 2. To evaluate the effectiveness of self- instructional module on knowledge regarding obstetric dangers signs, birth preparedness and complications readiness among the primigravida mothers. 3. To find out the association between the knowledge regarding obstetric danger signs, birth preparedness and complications readiness with selected demographic variables. Materials and Methods: It is a quantitative research approach, in which one group pre-test post-test design will be used. Purposive sampling technique will be used to collect the data. Self-instructional module and structured questionnaire will be used to assess the effectiveness of self-instructional module on knowledge regarding obstetric danger signs, birth preparedness and complication readiness among the primigravida mothers.

Multistage with systematic random sampling techniques were employed. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed using SPSS version 20. P-value less than 0.05 were taken as a cutoff point to declare significant association. Result A total of 523 men were involved in the study. The mean and ± SD age of the study participant was 36.6 ± 7 years. Majority of the participants were Orthodox religion followers and, employees of private organization, regarding residency majority were residing in urban setting. Pregnancy related vaginal bleeding was the most familiar danger sign recognized by the study participants which was 342(65.4%). From the total, 441(84.3%) of men were highly involved in preparation of arranging for postpartum cultural food expenses, 345(66.0%) for clean clothes both for the baby and mother; and 71–76% participants were involved in availing transport money for antenatal, delivery and postnatal care.

Background: Birth-preparedness and complication readiness (BPCR) is an evidence based strategy to reduce maternal and perinatal mortality. This study aims to assess awareness of BPCR and its determinants among pregnant women in a rural area of Ramanagara district, Karnataka, South India. Materials and Methods : A cross-sectional hospital-based study among pregnant women availing antenatal care, using the interview schedule from Johns Hopkins Program for International Education in Gynaecology and Obstetrics BPCR Tools and Indicators for Maternal and Newborn Health, with 41 items of BPCR awareness scored one for each correct response. Statistical analysis was performed using independent t-test, One-way ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation, and multi-logistic regression. Results The 331 pregnant women had low mean BPCR awareness score of 9.46 ± 3.61. Commonly mentioned obstetric danger signs were vaginal bleeding, severe weakness, and headache. BPCR awareness was significantly higher among multi-gravidae (P < 0.001), those with previous bad obstetric history (P = 0.002) or complications in the previous pregnancy (P = 0.031), those who registered their pregnancy early (P = 0.018) and those with four or more antenatal check-ups (P = 0.006). Multi-gravid mothers were twice more likely to have higher BPCR awareness than primigravidae. (Odds ratio = 2.41 [1.49–3.34], P < 0.001). Conclusions: Awareness of birth preparedness and obstetric danger signs among women in our study was found to be low. None of the women were aware regarding identifying a blood donor in advance in spite of vaginal bleeding being the most commonly cited danger sign. This study reveals an urgent need to address the lack of awareness of BPCR among rural women during routine antenatal visits or by community-level workers during home visits.

The Relationship

The Study aims to examine residents’ perception of positive festival impacts, social cohesion and cultural benefits on the relationship between community attachment and well-being. An integration of the Social Exchange and Affect Theories are employed to develop and test a conceptual model that test the interrelationships. The quantitative research approach is used to conduct the study on resident attendees of the Jameson Festival in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. Via the convenience sampling technique data are collected. Results of the study indicate that festivals foster community cohesiveness and community attachment. They also show that the perceived positive festival impact: community cohesiveness is strongly related to community attachment and well-being; community attachment mediates the relationships. Contrarily, though the relationship between festival cultural preservation and community attachment was partially supported, there was no significant association to well-being. The theoretical implications of the study lay mainly on the introduction of a new theory to the festival body of studies and the study’ findings shed light and direction on practical implications and future directions for festival organizers and scholars

ObjectivesTo assess birth preparedness and complication readiness (BPACR) and associated factors among mothers who had given birth in the past 12 months prior to the study.DesignAn analytical cross-sectional study.SettingThe study was carried out in the rural areas of Kassena-Nankana district located in the Upper East Region of Ghana.ParticipantsThe study population comprised 600 postpartum women who had delivered within the last 12 months prior to the study.Primary outcome measureThe primary outcome measure was BPACR.ResultsThe prevalence of BPACR among recently delivered women was very low as less than 15% were able to mention at least three of the five basic components of birth preparedness/complication readiness that were fulfilled. After adjustment for confounding effect using multivariable logistic regression analysis, high educational level (adjusted OR (AOR)=3.40 (95% CI: 1.88 to 6.15)), better knowledge about obstetric danger signs during pregnancy (AOR=4.88 (95% CI: 2.68 to 8.90)), older women (≥35 years) (AOR=2.59 (95% CI: 1.11 to 6.02)), women of low household wealth index (AOR=4.64 (95% CI: 1.97 to 10.91)) and women who received lower content of antenatal care services (AOR=3.34 (95% CI: 1.69 to 6.60)) were significant predictors of BPACR.ConclusionThis study concludes that BPACR practices were low. High educational attainment of the woman, having adequate knowledge about obstetric danger signs during pregnancy, older women (≥35 years) and women of low household wealth index were significant predictors of BPACR. The predictors identified should be given high priority by health authorities in addressing low prevalence of BPACR.
