Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at Faculty of Medicine Vajira Hospital, from 1 June to 31 December 2017. A total 430 pregnant women gave written informed consent and 20 minutes interviewed by a well-trained research assistant at antenatal clinic, using a data record form which included demographic profile, parity, number of antenatal visits, gestational age and 16 pregnancy danger signs. The participants who recognized at least 75 percent of the total items of pregnancy danger signs were considered as 'good awareness', 50 74 of the total items were 'fair awareness' and 0 percent to 49 percent of the total items were 'poor awareness'. Results: This study showed the prevalence of good danger signs awareness was 59.8%. The good danger signs awareness was significantly associated with bachelor's degree graduation or higher, gestational age > 28 weeks, and antenatal visits ? 4. Significant predictive factors for good danger signs awareness were pregnant women who had a bachelor's degree or higher (ORadj 2.02, 95% CI (1.08-3.37), p< 0.001) and antenatal visits ? 4 (ORadj 1.89, 95% CI (1.27-2.82), p = 0.002). Conclusions: The prevalence of good danger signs awareness was 59.8%. Associated factors were bachelor education or higher, more gestational age, and number of antenatal visits ? 4. Predictive factors for good awareness were high education and antenatal visits ? 4. |
