The Effect of Educative Intervention on Preeclamptic Women on their Newborn's Health: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Preeclampsia is a dangerous condition in pregnancy is associated with high mortality. Although the unknown nature of the disease is difficult to predict and prevent disease. However، the incidence of some problems with self-care education and maternal and fetal complications can be prevented. This study aimed to determine the effect of Educative Intervention on Preeclamptic Women on their Newborn''s. In a randomized controlled clinical trial، 60 patients with preeclampsia who were randomly allocated into the experimental group (n = 30) and control group (n = 30). Four sessions were conducted for the intervention group was followed up until the end of pregnancy. The control group received routine care. Forms and self- care skills checklist were completed in both groups before and after intervention. Data were analyzed using t-test، chi-square test، Mann-Whitney tests with a 95% confidence level in the SPSS/16. The difference between the mean and standard deviation in the first minute Apgar score of 8. 6 ± 1. 5 and 8. 3 ± 0. 8 in the experimental group and control group was not significant، respectively (P> 0. 05). But the difference between Apgar score at fifth minutes، in two groups was significant (P= 0. 03). The difference between the mean and standard deviation weight in control group (2773. 5±650 gm.) and experimental group (2973. 9±625. 6 gm.) was not significant (P =0. 2). Use care programs to increase their ability to care for patients with preeclampsia and fetal health in order to increase the Apgar score as a nursing intervention is suggested.
