| description | Placenta praevia is a known obstetric condition that causes complications to mother and
fetus. This study was done to evaluate the knowledge of placenta praevia amongst the
obstetric patients. A cross sectional study was carried out in Hospital Ipoh, Perak among
323 antenatal and postnatal patients. Socio-demographic parameters (ie age, race, parity,
occupation, educational level) and history of placenta praevia were studied in relation to
level of knowledge and attitude towards placenta praevia. Twenty (6.2%) from 323 women
had current or past history of placenta praevia. Three had history of placenta praevia while
17 had current placenta praevia with prevalence of 5.3%. The mean score of knowledge
achieved by patients was 11.8 which indicated overall poor knowledge. Occupation, level of education and history of placenta praevia were found to have a relationship with level of
knowledge regarding placenta praevia in all obstetric patients. There was a significant
relationship between attitude of patients with current and history of placenta praevia to
level of knowledge regarding placenta praevia. (p=0.037, <0.05). In conclusion, the
knowledge and attitude towards placenta praevia among obstetric patients in Hospital Ipoh
was better in those who had higher education status, white-collar occupation and currently
pregnant with placenta praevia |
