| Abstract | ||
| Introduction: Approximately 800 women die every day from preventable causes related to pregnancy and childbirth. 99% of all maternal deaths occur in developing countries. Maternal mortality is higher in women living in rural areas and among poorer communities (WHO, 2014). Skilled care before, during and after childbirth can save the lives of women and newborn babies. Between 1990 and 2010, maternal mortality worldwide dropped by almost 50% (WHO, 2014). Aim of the work: The study was designed to investigate the effect of antenatal classes in promoting perinatal knowledge among pregnant ladies in El Minya & Sohage governorates. Subjects And Methods: 1. Participants: A study was conducted on 182 women from two governorates (89 women from Minia governorate and 93 women from Sohag governorate). Results: This study included 182 women from two governorates (89 women from Minia governorate and 93 women from Sohag governorate). The women were invited to attend antenatal classes. A well-structured questionnaire was completed before and after enrollment to test the degree of awareness of different issues related to perinatal care of the women of the two governorates. Discussion: An estimated 287,000 maternal deaths occurred in 2010 worldwide, a decline of 47 % from 1990. Sub-Saharan Africa (with 56 per cent of these deaths) and Southern Asia (29 %) together accounted for 85 per cent of the global burden in 2010, with 245,000 maternal deaths. Summary & Conclusion: This study was conducted on 182 women from two governorates (89 women from Minia governorate & 93 women from Sohag governorate), then we gave them pre-test (course) printed questionnaires which included personal information, some demographic and obstetrical history and some pregnancy related questions in general. | ||
