| dc.description.abstract | 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. | |
