| description | As first time mother, primigravida might have different knowledge and attitude towards
vaginal delivery (VD) and cesarean section (CS). A cross sectional study was carried out to
assess knowledge and attitude towards VD and CS among primigravida in Hospital USM.
A total of 105 primigravida attending antenatal visit in teaching hospital completed selfadministered
questionnaires. Sampling was done using non-probability purposive sampling
technique. Data was analyzed using the software package SSPS version 22. Statistical
significance was considered at p value <0.005. This study found that majority of the
participants have good knowledge towards VD and CS (51.4%, n=54). Chi Square test
showed a significant association between monthly household income with level of
knowledge towards VD and CS among primigravida (p=0.022). This study found no
association between other socio-demographic characteristics (age, highest education level
and occupational status) with knowledge on VD and CS. For attitude towards VD and CS,
the current study found no association with socio-demographic characteristics (age,
monthly household income, highest education level and occupational status). Chi Square
test showed a significant association between the level of knowledge and attitude towards
VD (p=0.025). In conclusion, the study findings show a need for educating pregnant
women, especially among primigravida about the pros and cons of different modes of
delivery to maternal and perinatal health. |
