Abstract
Pregnancy related complications are among the leading causes of death and disability for women aged 15-49 in India. The National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) is contributing to the various health needs still the antenatal care utilization and neonatal practices are very poor especially in the tribal pockets of Maharashtra. Our aim was to assess the impact of close supervision and support intervention (CSSI) among primigravidae as compared to non-intervened primigravidae. Community based interventional study done in the tribal rural health training centre (RHTC) which is field practice area of tertiary health care institute.Total of 120 registered primigravidae mothers were enrolled in the study and were divided into two groups interventional group (N=30) and non- interventional group (N= 90).The CSSI was given to interventional group. Only 57 (42.50%) & 59(49.17%) women had taken two doses of TT immunization and ≥100 IFA tablets respectively. Regular CSSI helped to increase the ANC visits 25(83.33%), helped to confine delivery either at the RHTC or private hospital 29(96.70%).Maximum mothers i.e. 17(90%) and 30(100%) initiated breast feeding within 1 hour and fed colostrums to their baby respectively.
