impact of a birth training programme on knowledge anxiety physiological parameters and labour outcomes among expectant couples

Abstract

A study to assess the Impact of a birth training programme on newlineknowledge, anxiety, physiological parameters and labour outcomes among newlineexpectant couples in a selected hospital, Bangalore. newline2.2. Aim newlineThe aim of the present study is to assess the knowledge of birth newlinepreparation, anxiety, physiological parameters and the labour outcome among newlineexpectant couples, mothers as well as fathers. newline2.3. Objectives newline1. To compare the knowledge regarding birth preparation of the couples newlinebetween experimental and control groups. newline2. To compare the anxiety of the couples between experimental and control newlinegroups. newline3. To compare the pregnancy specific anxiety level among antenatal newlinemothers between experimental and control groups. newline4. To compare the physiological parameters of the couples between newlineexperimental and control groups. newline5. To compare the labour outcomes between the experimental and control newlinegroups. newline6. To determine the correlation between the knowledge and anxiety of newlinecouples in both groups. newline2.4. Hypotheses: newlineAll the hypotheses will be tested at 0.05 level of significance. newlineH1: There will be a significant difference in level of knowledge regarding newlinebirth preparation among couples between experimental and control newlinegroups. newlineH2: There will be a significant difference in anxiety of couples between newlineexperimental and control groups newline
