A Study to Assess Postnatal Perineal Morbidity Among Mothers in Selected Communities, Bangalore with A View to Develop an Information Booklet

Motherhood is the greatest thing and the hardest thing. Around 140 million births take place worldwide each year, and skilled medical personnel now attend 81% of them, up from 58% in 1990. This is mostly because there are more births at a health facility. Patterns of maternal perineal morbidity have been the subject of very few community-based studies. More than half of maternal deaths take place in humanitarian and fragile environments. Between 1997 and 2020, there were approximately 1.30 million maternal deaths, with approximately 23 800 deaths in 2020. The majority of these deaths occurred in poorer states and among women between the ages of 20 and 29. The Karnataka Health Department reports that there has been a 14% decrease in maternal mortality. Despite the fact that the mortality rate has decreased, the perineal morbidity may rise, resulting in additional complications such as trauma, urinary and bowel incontinence, constipation, and sexual dysfunction. Therefore, community-level gross root screening is required to identify mothers' complications. In order to identify post-natal perineal morbidity among mothers in the Abbigere community area of Bangalore, a descriptive research design with a pretest was used. The majority of mothers, according to the study, have mild symptoms of perineal morbidity. The discoveries of the current study have suggestions for Nursing practice on primary health nurse, as she should mastery in gross root screening to work on the maternal wellbeing and go to important preventive lengths on perineal Morbidity.
