Objective:

To evaluate the effectiveness of an educational program on the health-related knowledge and well-being of primigravida women.

Approach:

• Study Design: A quasi-experimental (one-group pre-test/post-test) design was adopted to assess the impact of the educational program.
• Setting: The study was conducted at the Al-Marj Al-Sharqiya Primary Healthcare Center in East Cairo.
• Sample Selection: Multi-stage sampling technique was employed to select participants from a high-density urban–rural setting.

Key Findings:

• Primigravida women constitute approximately 24–28% of all pregnancies in Egypt, representing a high-risk group.
• Gestational anemia affects nearly 44.5% of pregnant women in Egyptian primary care settings.
• Antepartum depression and anxiety are prevalent among primigravida women due to inadequate psychosocial support.

Interpretation:

The study aims to address the knowledge gap and improve maternal and fetal outcomes by providing a structured educational program that integrates health literacy and psychosocial support.

Limitations:

• The study is limited to a single healthcare center, which may affect the generalizability of the findings.
• The quasi-experimental design does not include a control group, limiting causal inferences.

Conclusion:

The research provides a localized, evidence-based framework essential for empowering women and optimizing maternal nursing interventions in resource-limited primary care settings.
