Effectiveness of Selected Interventional Package on Knowledge, Morning Sickness and Quality of Life among Primigravida Mothers at Selected Settings, Tiruvannamalai
Abstract: Background: Morning sickness is most common term used to describe the nausea with or without vomiting, which often comes during the first three months, known medically as Nausea and Vomiting of Pregnancy (NVP) Rachel libretto (2017). Objective: To assess the effectiveness of selected interventional package on knowledge, quality of life and morning sickness among primigravida mothers in selected settings, Tiruvannamalai. Methods: The research design was non-equivalent control group pre and post test design which comes under quasi experimental design. Non probability convenience sampling technique was used to select the primigravida mothers (30 in experimental group and 30 in control group). The score of knowledge was assessed by using structured interview, quality of life was assessed by using modified NVPQOL scale and morning sickness was assessed by five point rating scale. Results: On analysis comparisons of pre and post test score of knowledge, quality of life and morning sickness within experimental and control group. In experimental group, analysis on the pre test mean score of knowledge was 8.3 with SD ±3.44 and the post test mean score was 17.36 with SD±1.67. The calculated paired 't' test value was 11.07 which was found to be significant at p<0.001 level. In experimental group the pre test mean score of quality of lifewas 78.76 with SD±10.65 and the post test mean score was 40.3 with SD±8.37. The calculated paired 't' value was 15.56 which was found to be significant at p<0.001 level. In experimental group the pre test mean score of morning sickness was 78.66 with SD±7.9 and the post test mean score was 38.56 with SD±11.6. The calculated paired 't' value was 14.63 which was found to be significant at p<0.001 level. Conclusion: The present study concluded thatthe selected interventional package implemented in experimental group has shown a significant improvement in knowledge and quality of life and reduction in morning sickness, then the control group.
