It was a cross-sectional survey carried out on 165 mothers who delivered within 6 weeks (August and September 2018), using a purposive sampling method. Data was collected using the Level of Disrespect and Abuse of Women during Childbirth Scale (LDAWCS). Prevalence of disrespect and abuse during childbirth in selected hospitals was low with 26.7 % (n=44) of women experiencing at least one form. The most frequent types of D&A were; detention for non-payment of bills 50.3% (n=83), women never allowed to choose a birthing position, carrying out procedures without consent 39.4% (n=65), women left naked in the view of many staff 29.7% (n=49) and women abandoned during labour 21.2% (n=35). There was a significant relationship between disrespect and demographic characteristics of parity and education, marital status, ethnicity, income and occupation had moderate evidence of a relationship with disrespect and abuse while age and religion showed no significant relationship with D &A at α = 0.05 level of significance. National human rights commission should look into cases of D & A of women and they should be encouraged to report such cases as they leave the premises for proper action to be taken. Professional bodies like the Nursing/Midwifery Council of Nigeria, Nigeria Medical Association etc., should investigate and institute disciplinary action against any member found to have disrespected and abused women during childbirth.","PeriodicalId":104457,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Midwifery, Women Health And Gynaecological Nursing","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128399298","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice on the management of anaemia among anaemic pregnant women in RGGW&CH, Puducherry. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 120 anaemic pregnant women. Data were collected from the mothers by using a structured questionnaire to assess their knowledge, a five-point Likert scale to assess attitude and checklist to assess practice regarding the management of anaemia, and Medical Adherence Rating Scale – 5 (MARS-5 Scale) used to assess the adherence to iron-folate supplements. The collected data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics. Results: The results showed that 86.7% of mothers had moderate knowledge, 75% of mothers had a positive attitude, 69.2% had moderate practice, and 72.5 % of good adherence to IFAS supplementation Conclusion: The researcher concluded that anaemic mothers had a moderate level of perceptions on the management of anaemia and good adherence to iron-folate therapy. This shows the need for health education for anaemic mothers to improve anaemia status among anaemic antenatal mothers.","PeriodicalId":104457,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Midwifery, Women Health And Gynaecological Nursing","volume":"126 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124502800","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
