The authors assessed the knowledge of obstetric danger signs and its determinants among 405 pregnant women in their 3 trimester receiving antenatal care. The study was cross-sectional. Those knowledgeable of danger signs during pregnancy were 24.9%, labor 29.9%, postpartum 15.6% and in the new-born 36.0%. There were associations between age, higher level of education, gestational age and social class and knowledge of obstetric danger signs. Our findings suggest the need to increase the awareness of obstetric danger signs through provision of information, education, and empower the family.
作者评估了405名处于妊娠晚期并接受产前护理的孕妇对产科危险信号的知晓情况及其决定因素。该研究为横断面研究。知晓孕期危险信号的孕妇占24.9%，分娩期占29.9%，产后占15.6%，新生儿期占36.0%。年龄、较高的教育水平、孕周和社会阶层与产科危险信号的知晓情况之间存在关联。我们的研究结果表明，有必要通过提供信息、教育来提高对产科危险信号的认识，并增强家庭的能力。
