Abstract

Pregnancy is being the most precious and very important time in every woman's life. But sometimes pregnancy is associated with complications. About 7–15 % of all pregnancies are complicated by hypertension. Pregnancy-induced hypertension is one of the leading causes of maternal and neonatal mortality and morbidity. It can be managed by regular monitoring and educating mothers about self-care during pregnancy. Objectives: To develop, implement and assess the effectiveness of "Nursing Interventional Package on the management of pregnancy-induced hypertension" for antenatal mothers. Methods: Experimental research design was used and conducted in ANC OPD.The sample population was antenatal mothers attended ANC OPD. Purposive sampling technique was used to select antenatal mothers. Phase I: initial assessment was done by using an interview schedule and biophysical assessment. The clinical diary was given to each antenatal mother in both groups to record blood pressure, testing of urine for sugar and albumin, the presence of edema, daily fetal movement count. Phase II: Intervention– Experimental group: “Nursing Interventional Package on the management of pregnancy-induced hypertension” was implemented by educating antenatal mother individually with the help of a flash book. Phase III: Evaluation: Evaluation was done at the end of three months of enrollment. After intervention during first follows up, the statistically significant high percentage of subjects in the experimental group had normal blood pressure recording, regular exercise, dietary advice, keeping a record of daily fetal movement count, regular weight recording as compared to control group. During 2nd follow up, the statistically significant high percentage of subjects in the experimental group had regular exercise, dietary advice, keeping a record of daily fetal movement count, weight recording as compared to the control group. At final evaluation follow up, again the statistically significant high percentage of subjects in the experimental group had regular exercise, dietary advice, keeping a record of daily fetal movement count, weight recording and no edema. Results: Higher percent of subjects in the experimental group had gestational age more than 37 weeks, vaginal delivery, less perineal tear and normal blood pressure after delivery. Though, these differences were statistically not significant. There was a consistent improvement in 1st, 2nd and final evaluation follow up in terms of regular exercise, keeping a record of daily fetal movement count, regular weight recording, dietary advice as compared to the control group. A higher percentage of subjects in the experimental group had gestational age more than 37 weeks, better APGAR scores at 1 and 5 minutes, baby weight and healthy babies. Though, these differences were statistically not significant. Conclusion: Higher percent of subjects in the experimental group had gestational age more than 37 weeks, better APGAR scores at 1 and 5 minutes, baby weight and healthy babies.
