Abstract
This investigation focuses on assessing the effectiveness of a structured educational program aimed at improving knowledge about daily fetal movement counting among first‐time pregnant women (primigravidae). Employing a prospective observational study design, the study enrolled 60 primigravidae women who were more than 28 weeks pregnant and attending antenatal outpatient departments (OPD) at tertiary healthcare centers. These participants underwent a structured educational intervention designed to enhance their understanding and documentation of daily fetal movements. Assessment: The study measured participants' knowledge levels both before and after the educational program to evaluate the intervention's impact. Findings: The results underscore the significance of maternal education in monitoring fetal well‐being and suggest potential implications for improving antenatal care practices through such educational interventions. The educational program significantly enhanced primigravidae's understanding of fetal movement counting, with high knowledge levels increasing from 16.7‐66.7% post‐intervention and low knowledge levels dropping from 50‐8.3%. This indicates the program's efficacy in elevating maternal knowledge. The findings underscore the importance of targeted educational interventions in maternal health, highlighting their potential to positively influence antenatal care practices and outcomes.
