Introduction: Childbirth is a life-altering experience for every woman, particularly for firsttime mothers (primiparas). The postpartum pe riod is a crucial time when a mother requires special care, including perineal care, to ensure optimal recovery and prevent complications. This quasi-experimental study aimed to assess the effect of a structured teaching program on the knowledge of perineal care among primipara mothers.

Methods: A quasi-experimental study was conducted on 60 primipara mothers who were randomly assigned to either the intervention or control group. The intervention group received a structured teaching programme on perineal care, while the control group received routine care. Pre and post-test assessments were conducted to evaluate the knowledge of both groups. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, and chi-square tests.

Results: The study found a significant improvement in knowledge regarding perineal care among the intervention group (p<0.0001), while no significant improvement was observed in the control group (p=0.11). The chi-square test also showed no significant association between knowledge and demographic variables such as age, area of residence, educational status, religion, occupation, and type of family.

Conclusion: The structured teaching programme was effective in improving the knowledge of primipara mothers regarding perineal care. The study suggests that healthcare providers should incorporate structured teaching programmes in their routine care to improve the knowledge of mothers regarding perineal care.
