ABSTRACT
Background: Because of the increased iron requirements during pregnancy, pregnant women are recognized as the group most vulnerable to iron deficiency anaemia. Therefore present study aims to improve the knowledge level of pregnant mothers by providing them self-instruction module regarding iron deficiency anaemia and its prevention. Material & Method: Quantitative pre experimental research design was used to carry out the study. A sample of 60 pregnant mothers selected for the study through non probability convenient sampling technique. Results: The mean pre test knowledge score was 9.65 ± 1.28, whereas mean post test knowledge score was 29.63 ± 1.39. The post-test mean value knowledge score among pregnant mothers was significantly higher than the pre test mean value knowledge score. The mean difference was 19.98. The paired student “t” test value was 73.59 which was significant at P=0.05 level. The findings revealed that there was significant association between knowledge score with selected demographic variables of the pregnant mothers like Age, education, Nutritional habits and source of information regarding IDA. Conclusion: Study concluded that knowledge regarding iron deficiency anaemia and its prevention is much needed among pregnant mothers for prevention of future problems related to iron deficiency anaemia in both mother and child.
