Abstract

Background: Decreased movements of the fetus can indicate decrease supply of oxygen
and nutrients to the fetus and increase the risk of fetal compromised, even stillbirth.
Providing accurate information on fetal movements will help mother to make right decision
when dealing with decreased fetal movements. This study aims to determine the effect of
fetal movement counting education on knowledge and compliance of pregnant women in
performing fetal movement counting.
Method: This pre-experimental study allocated 32 pregnant women at 28-37 weeks
gestation to practice daily fetal movement counting for 3 weeks. The intervention was
a package of fetal movement counting education and practice for 3 weeks. Knowledge
on fetal movement counting was measured 4 times by a validated questionnaire and
compliance was measured in the end of intervention. Friedman test was used to analyze
the changes of women knowledge on fetal movement counting. Results: The results showed that there was an increase in women knowledge on fetal
movement counting from 52.94% to 86.10% at the end of intervention, by the highest score
in the technique for fetal movement counting (93.67%). Comparison of 4 measurement
periods showed significant changes in knowledge (p <0.000), with a tendency of rise in
knowledge. The compliance in performing fetal movement counting was high about 96%.
Conclusion: Education of fetal movement counting will increases the knowledge regarding
fetal movement. Providing appropriate education and continuous follow-up will increase
women’s awareness on the importance of fetal movement monitoring and rise up their
compliance to do so.
