Abstract :

In 2013, there were an estimated 289000 maternal deaths worldwide�most of which may be considered preventable (World Health Organization (WHO), 2014).World Health Organization stated that the pregnancy and childbirth are special events in woman�s lives and indeed in the lives of their families. It can also be a time of fear, suffering and even death. Although pregnancy is not a disease but a normal physiological process, it is associated with certain risks to health and survival both for the woman and for the infant she bears. In developed countries they have been largely overcome because every pregnant woman has to take special care during pregnancy and childbirth. Objectives: To assess the pretest knowledge of primigravida women on danger sign of pregnancy. To assess the effectiveness of planned teaching programme on knowledge of danger sign of pregnancy among primigravida mothers in selected hospital. To associate the posttest knowledge about danger sign in pregnancy in primigravida. Method and Material: Pre experimental one group pre test post test design. Sample: Primigravida women. Sampling technique: Non-probability convenience sampling technique.Sample size: 40 primigravidawomens.Tool: Structured knowledge questioner including demographic variables and planned teaching was used for the study. Mean value of pre test is 12.95 and post test is 26.80 and standard deviation values of pre test is 2.062 and post test is 1.814. The calculated t-value is 31.525 and tabulated t- value 2.02 and p-value is0.000.^{< clear="all" style="page-eak-before:always;
