Abstract

A descriptive study was conducted to assess the knowledge on preparation of parenthood among primigravida mothers in selected hospital, Coimbatore. The investigator selected 50 primigravida mothers who attended OPD and fulfilled the inclusion criteria by convenient sampling technique. The analysis findings indicated that, 64% of the primigravida mothers had moderate adequate knowledge regarding preparation of parenthood and there is a significant association between education statuses with the level of knowledge. The study concluded that, the education programs should be given to the eligible primigravida mothers to enhance their knowledge on preparation of parenthood.
