摘要

Background

Primigravida women's health and well-being during pregnancy are crucial as they promote healthy fetal development and birth outcomes, reduce complications for both mother and baby, and positively impact the whole family. Primigravida is a term referred to a woman who is pregnant for the first time. This study evaluated an educational program’s effect on health knowledge and well-being among primigravida women.

Methods

A quasi-experimental design was conducted with 95 primigravida women in Cairo. The intervention involved six weekly sessions (45–60 min) based on the Health Promotion Model. Pre- and post-tests assessed knowledge and well-being. Cohen’s d was used for effect size.

Results

Post-intervention, participants' high knowledge levels significantly increased from 26.3% to 74.7% (p < 0.001). Similarly, high well-being levels improved from 10.5% to 71.6% (p < 0.001). A strong positive correlation (r = 0.65, p < 0.001) was established between health-related knowledge gains and overall well-being scores following the program implementation.

Conclusion

The structured educational program effectively improved maternal knowledge and well-being among primigravida women. Integrating such tailored interventions into primary healthcare services is essential for enhancing maternal outcomes and promoting a positive pregnancy experience.
