Abstract | ||||
One of the most common procedures among pregnant women is a cesarean section. The worry that pregnant women experience throughout the preparatory stages of operation day, as well as their lack of control over being in a new setting and feeling in danger, causes anxiety and, as a result, instability. The aim was to determine the effect of video-assisted teaching guidelines on knowledge regarding anxiety levels among primigravida mothers undergoing caesarian sections. Subjects and method: Design: A quasi-experimental research design was utilized to achieve the aim of this study. Setting: the research was conducted at the Antenatal Outpatient Clinic at South Valley University Hospital. Subjects: A purposive included 139 primigravida mothers who were included in the study within six months. Three tools were used: Tool (I) A structured interview questionnaire, Tool (II) Primigravida mothers' knowledge regarding caesarian section (pre/post), and Tool (III) Anxiety Rating Scale (pre/post). Results: The majority of primigravida mothers reported that the main source of information regarding their knowledge was nurses. There was a positive significant correlation (P=0.005) between primigravida mothers ' knowledge scores pre and post-video-assisted teaching guidelines. There were highly significant improvements in primigravida mothers' knowledge regarding the caesarian section post-video-assisted teaching guidelines (P=0.005). Statistical highly significant differences and reductions were detected between anxiety levels of primigravida mothers pre and post-video-assisted teaching guidelines. Conclusion: The present study concluded that video-assisted structured teaching guidelines had a highly significant positive effect on improving knowledge and reducing anxiety levels among primigravida mothers undergoing caesarian section. Recommendations: Educational guidelines about the caesarian section should be taught and discussed in the antenatal care follow-up visits for primigravida mothers. | ||||
