Brief Summary

This study evaluated the effectiveness of a pre-labour intervention on maternal coping strategies and delivery outcomes among primigravida women at a selected hospital in Mangaluru, Karnataka. A quasi-experimental design was used, with participants allocated to intervention and control groups. The intervention group received the pre-labour intervention along with routine obstetric care, while the control group received routine care alone. Maternal coping during labour was assessed using an observational checklist, and delivery outcomes were recorded. The findings demonstrated that women who received the pre-labour intervention had significantly better maternal coping and lower labour pain perception compared with the control group. No significant association was found between selected obstetric variables and maternal coping or delivery outcomes. The study concludes that the pre-labour intervention is an effective, non-pharmacological approach for improving maternal coping during labour. |
