| Background: Deep venous thrombosis is an acute condition resulting in maternal morbidity and death. Aim: To evaluate the effect of education program about deep venous thrombosis among pregnant women in antenatal clinic. Design: A quasi- experimental pretest-posttest control group design. Setting: The study was conducted at the antenatal outpatient clinic at Woman’s Health Hospital, Assiut Governorate. Subjects: A purposive sample of 200 pregnant women (100 pregnant women for each study and control groups). Tool I: A Structured interview questionnaire: divided to 3 parts. Part (1): Personal data, part (2): Medical and obstetric history, part (3): Pregnant women knowledge about deep venous thrombosis (DVT). Tool II: Reported checklist for pregnant women regarding DVT preventive measures practices. Tool III: Post-natal maternal outcomes' follow up. Results: The majority of pregnant women were more than 35 years. There were highly statistical significant differences between knowledge and practice scores regarding DVT preventive measures pre and post program. Conclusion: It could be inferred that the level of pregnant women's knowledge and practices toward DVT preventive measures in the study group was significantly improved by the effect of the educational program when compared with the control group.
