Abstract

A preliminary investigation was undertaken to create and assess the impact of RMC (Respectful Maternity Care) interventions on the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of nurses, as well as maternal perceptions regarding RMC, within maternity units at specific hospitals in Chandigarh. A quasi-experimental research design was utilized for data collection from nurses, while a post-test only design was employed for collecting data from mothers. A preliminary investigation, constituting 10% of the sample of main study, included 6 nurses and 6 mothers (3 in each control and experimental group) at designated hospitals in Chandigarh. The entire study sample was selected using total enumerative sampling technique. The data underwent analysis using descriptive and inferential statistics, with a significance level set at p<0.05 to denote statistical significance. In Post-test 1, the Experimental group exhibited a Mean Knowledge score of nurses 21.000±0.000, significantly surpassing the Mean Knowledge score of nurses in control group 16.667±0.577(p0.005. Similarly, during Post-test 2, a statistically significant strong positive correlation (r=0.945) was noted between nurses’ attitude scores and mothers’ perceptions, with a significance level of p>0.005.
