Head on perineum, institutional delivery,delay,tertiary care hospital
Background : India is a vast country with varied cultural and socioeconomic differences resulting in regional variations in delivery practices .Institutional delivery allows skilled attendance at birth and is one of the key interventions helpful in reducing risk of both maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. However, this risk is reduced only when the pregnant woman has reached sufficiently early to the medical facility where adverse factors affecting maternal and neonatal outcome can be addressed to and complications can be prevented or properly dealt with. On few occasions however the pregnant women reach the place of delivery too late or deliver soon on reaching the medical facility. This delay may affect both maternal and neonatal outcome resulting in underachieving of desired goals of promotion of institutional deliveries. There may be numerous factors which may be responsible for this delay , which includes lack of transport , long distance to medical facility , social, economic and few more. With this background, the present study was conducted with the objective to find prevalence of pregnant women coming head on perineum and its determinants at a tertiary care hospital . Material and Methods: All the pregnant women presented in OBGY labour room of our tertiary care hospital in Vidarbha (Maharashtra) with head on perineum during the period of 1 year ( 1st March 2022 – 28th Feb 2023) were included in the study . Data was collected by personal interview using printed questionnaire. Total 32 pregnant women with head on perineum were enrolled in the study using convenient sampling .Data was analysed using proportions and percentages. Results : The most common factor revealed for delay in pregnant women reaching at place of delivery was lack of transport facilities 65 % , followed by far distance from hospital 56% followed by household responsibilities in 37.5% Conclusion: Proper and targeted counselling of pregnant woman and family members throughout the antenatal period, providing them financial help when needed shall definitely help to overcome few of these and improve these delays.
