Objective: To find out if there is a relationship among the expectant mother's 'socioeconomic position' and eclampsia, and evaluate if various 'socioeconomic levels' have an impact on the progression or seriousness of eclampsia. Study Design: Cross-sectional Research study. Setting: Health Net Hospital, Peshawar. Period: Jan 2024 to July 2024. Methods: The Sample size were 147 determined with a '95% Confidence Level' (CL) using the 'G Power Programme'. There are four parts to the investigation. The data was collected through a structured questionnaire that included questions about 'individual', 'medical', 'obstetrical', 'clinical examinations' for the identification of eclampsia, laboratory tests to verify the finding, and 'socioeconomic status' details created using the updated 'Fahmy and El-Sherbini scale 2012', which consists of 'seven domains'. Results: There was a 'significant statistical relationship between the severity of eclampsia and bronchial asthma' (p=0.029), but there was 'no significant statistical difference between the severity of eclampsia and maternal age' (p=0.980), obstetric history, previous history of eclampsia (p=0.086), or other medical conditions like 'essential hypertension' (p=0.456) and 'diabetes mellitus' (p=0.427). Additionally, there is a 'statistically significant correlation between the severity of eclampsia and family possessions' (p=0.032), 'education level' (p=0.035), home cleanliness (p=0.025), and financial situation (p=0.041). However, 'there is no statistically significant correlation between the severity of eclampsia and the family', health care, or occupation domains (p=0.222, p=0.272, and p=0.328). Conclusion: Academic level, familial goods, house hygiene, and economic standing are all associated with the severity of eclampsia and socioeconomic position. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
