        abstract = {Lack of awareness of warning signs of pregnancy among primigravida mothers can delay care-seeking and increase maternal and fetal risks. Planned Teaching Programs (PTPs) may enhance knowledge and promote timely health-seeking behavior.
Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of a Planned Teaching Program on knowledge of warning signs of pregnancy among primigravida mothers at Narayan Medical College and Hospital, Jamuhar, Rohtas, Bihar.
Methods: A pre-experimental one-group pre-test post-test design was conducted with 60 purposively selected primigravida mothers. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire before and after administering a culturally appropriate PTP. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for analysis.
Results: Pre-test scores showed 46.7% had poor knowledge and only 11.6% had excellent knowledge. Post-test findings indicated significant improvement, with 58.4% achieving excellent knowledge and only 8.3% remaining in the poor category (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: The Planned Teaching Program significantly enhanced primigravida mothers’ knowledge regarding pregnancy warning signs.},
