About this study
Official title: Effect of Mobile Assisted Education on Prenatal Health Literacy, Health Behaviors and Childbirth Outcomes Among Primigravida Women: A Quasi Experimental Study
This study aims to evaluate the effect of mobile-assisted education on prenatal health literacy, health behaviors, and childbirth outcomes among primigravida women
Read the detailed description
This study employed a quasi-experimental design involving study and control groups. A purposive sample of 140 primigravida women attending the obstetrics and gynecology outpatient clinic at Benha University Hospital, Egypt, was recruited for the study. The main objective was to evaluate the effect of mobile assisted education on prenatal health literacy, health behaviours, and childbirth outcomes among primigravida women.
To achieve the study aim, the following research hypotheses were formulated:
H1: Primigravida women who receive mobile assisted education will demonstrate higher prenatal health literacy scores than those who receive routine hospital care.
H2: Primigravida women who receive mobile-assisted education will demonstrate more satisfactory prenatal health behaviors than those who receive routine hospital care.
H3: Primigravida women who receive mobile assisted education will experience a lower incidence of adverse childbirth outcomes than those who receive routine hospital care.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Mobile-Assisted EducationBehavioural
An electronic educational booklet in simple Arabic was provided to primigravida women through a WhatsApp link or QR code, in addition to routine prenatal care. The booklet covered prenatal health literacy, healthy behaviors, and recognition of pregnancy-related warning signs.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Mobile-Assisted Education Group | Experimental | Participants received routine prenatal care in addition to mobile-assisted education delivered through an electronic educational booklet in simple Arabic, accessed via a WhatsApp link or QR code. The booklet addressed prenatal health literacy, health behaviors, and recognition of pregnancy-related warning signs. Receives: Behavioral: Mobile-Assisted Education |
| Routine Prenatal Care Control Group | No intervention | Participants received routine prenatal care provided at the hospital without the additional mobile-assisted educational booklet. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Maternal Health Literacy Score
Maternal health literacy regarding prenatal care was assessed using the Maternal Health Literacy Inventory in Pregnancy (MHELIP), a 31-item questionnaire covering maternal health-related knowledge, searching for maternal health information, evaluating maternal health information, and maternal health decision-making. The total score ranged from 31 to 93, with higher scores indicating greater maternal health literacy.
Measured: Baseline and 2 months after the intervention.
Secondary outcomes (2)
Pregnancy-Related Health Behaviors Score
Pregnancy-related health behaviors were assessed using the 26-item Pregnancy-Related Health Behaviors Scale (PHBS), covering healthy dietary patterns, physical activity, sleep and stress management, and fetal movement monitoring. Total scores ranged from 26 to 78, with higher scores indicating greater engagement in healthy pregnancy-related behaviors.
Measured: Baseline and 2 months after the intervention.
Maternal and Neonatal Childbirth Outcomes
Maternal and neonatal outcomes were assessed using a researcher-developed childbirth outcomes sheet. Maternal outcomes included timing and mode of delivery, complications during labor, and postpartum complications. Neonatal outcomes included birth weight, admission to the neonatal intensive care unit, and complications occurring in the newborn after birth. Outcomes were recorded and compared between the intervention and control groups.
Measured: At delivery and within 48 hours postpartum.
