The objective of this section is to analyses and interpret data to identify the incidence and risk factors associated with urinary tract infections (UTIs) among pregnant women. Data were collected from a sample of 500 pregnant women and analysed using both descriptive and inferential statistical methods to fulfil the study objectives. The analysis was structured around the following components:• Part I: Socio-personal factors influencing pregnant women• Part II: Prevalence of UTIs among expectant mothers• Part III: Potential risk factors contributing to UTIs in pregnancy• Part IV: Correlation between UTI occurrence and specific demographic variablesA fundamental aspect of any research endeavour is the methodology, which outlines the systematic process the researcher follows- from problem identification to study completion. This includes the research design, variables, study setting, target population, sample size, and sampling techniques. Additionally, the methodology encompasses the development and validation of data collection tools, pre-testing, pilot study execution, data collection procedures, and the statistical analysis plan.To effectively design a health education program tailored to the needs of primigravida mothers, it is imperative to assess their existing knowledge, practices, and attitudes regarding new-born care. Addressing these elements is crucial for contributing to the reduction of the nation’s high infant mortality rate, currently estimated at 96 per 1,000 live births. Recognizing this urgent need, the present study was undertaken to evaluate the knowledge, behaviours, and attitudes of first-time mothers concerning new-born care.This research was conducted at KDJ Hospital, Morar, Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh. The study specifically focused on primigravida mothers, aiming to assess their understanding, practices, and perceptions related to neonatal care. This chapter has presented the background, significance of the study, and a clear statement of the research problem.
