Background: The partograph (or partogram) is recommended by the World Health Organisation (WHO), for monitoring labour wellbeing and progress. Concerns about limitations in the way the partograph is used in the clinical context and the potential impact on its effectiveness have led to this realist systematic review of partograph use. Objectives: The study aimed to assess the pre-existing knowledge on use of partograph among midwives and effectiveness of information booklet. Methods: In the present study quantitative evaluator approach was used to assess the knowledge on use of partograph among midwives working in labour room of selected hospital of Bhopal. The researcher adopted a pre-experimental (one group pre-test post – research design). 60 midwifes selected for study by using non-probability purposive sampling technique. Data was collected by structured knowledge questionnaire before and after administration of self-instructional module regarding partograph and analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: It revealed that overall pre-test & post- test mean knowledge score of midwifes regarding partograph. The mean post- test score 17.42 more than mean pre- test score 12.37 And SD pre- test is 3.24 more than post- test SD 2.12. and mean percentage post- test score 69.68% more than mean pre- test score 49.48%. The computed ‘t’ value (t=16.508) was higher than the table value (t=2.03) at 0.05 level of significance. Hence, the research hypothesis (H1) was accepted. Conclusion: The study concluded that there is significant difference and effectiveness of information booklet, in increasing the knowledge of midwifes regarding partograph.
