Abstract
Aim of study to assess the knowledge and practices regarding prevention of pre-eclampsia among antenatal mothers. The objectives of study to assess the knowledge regarding prevention of pre-eclampsia, to assess the practices regarding prevention of pre-eclampsia, to find out co-relation between knowledge and practice regarding prevention of pre-eclampsia, to find out the relationship of knowledge score and practices with selected demographic variables and to develop information booklets on prevention of pre-eclampsia by selecting a sample of 100 antenatal mothers by simple random sampling technique. Maximum number 67 (67%) antenatal mothers had average knowledge followed by 24 (24%) antenatal mothers had below average knowledge and minimum number 9 (9%) antenatal mothers had good knowledge regarding prevention of preeclampsia. Maximum number 93 (93%) antenatal mothers had satisfactory practice and minimum number 7 (7%) antenatal mothers had unsatisfactory practice regarding prevention of preeclampsia. There was fair co-relation between knowledge and practices of antenatal mothers regarding pre-eclampsia
