Abstract

Background: Most complications that develop during pregnancy are preventable or treatable. Objectives: 1. Determine percentage of pregnant women who have proper knowledge and practice about prenatal care and explore some related factors; 2. Evaluate the results of direct communication interventions on knowledge and practice of prenatal care. Materials and method: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 375 pregnant women 14 to 26 weeks living in An Bien district, Kien Giang province with systematic sampling method. Results: The percentage of pregnant women with correct knowledge and practice on antenatal care was 49.3% and 50.9%, respectively. There was a relationship between maternal age and occupation with knowledge of prenatal care, family economics as well as general knowledge of prenatal care and practice of prenatal care. Subjects with knowledge and practice correct behavior after the intervention was higher than before the intervention.
