Abstract

Background: Fetal kick monitoring (FKM), a self-screening technique, has been
proposed as a primary method of fetal surveillance for all pregnancies including high-risk
pregnanciesand decreasing perinatal morbidity and mortality. Aim & design: Quasi-
experimental (study/control group)study design was conducted aiming to evaluate the effect
of mobile-assisted education regarding fetal kick monitoring on perinatal outcomes among
high-risk pregnant womenduring COVID-19 pandemic.Sample: A purposive sample of 100
pregnant women was chosen for the study. Setting: the study conducted at the Ain Shams
University Maternity Hospital's Antenatal Clinic.Tools:the study utilized three tools:
astructured Interviewing Questionnaire, self reported practices checklist,and maternal and
fetal assessment record. Results: The present study revealed that there was no statistically
significant difference between study and control groups regarding fetal kick monitoring in
total knowledge, and practices scores pre-intervention.Meanwhile, a highly statistically
significant improvement was observed in total knowledge and practices scores after using
mobile-assisted education among study group as compared to control group (p < 0.001) in
addition to statistically significant improvement in perinatal outcome among study group
compared to control group (p < 0.001).Conclusion: The study concluded that application of
mobile-assisted education during COVID-19 pandemic improved knowledge and practice of
high-risk pregnant women regarding fetal kick monitoring that reflect on better perinatal
outcomes among study group compared to control group.Recommendations: Applying
usage of mobile apps in all available health services as a method for transferring service and
replication of the research on a greater statistical sample drawn from various Egyptian
