Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change from Baseline in Husbands' Emotional, Informational, and Practical Support Score for Early Detection of High-Risk Pregnancy After 4 Weeks of Online-Based Intervention
Time Frame: From enrollment (baseline/pre-test) to the end of the online-based intervention at 4 weeks (post-test).
This outcome measures changes in husbands' emotional, informational, and practical support for early detection of high-risk pregnancy following a 4-week online-based "Caring for Pregnant Women" intervention delivered by trained health cadres. Husbands' support was assessed using a Family Support Questionnaire developed based on Friedman's Family Support Theory and high-risk pregnancy concepts. The questionnaire consists of 19 valid items covering emotional, informational, and practical support. Emotional, informational, and practical support were assessed separately, each with scores ranging from 10 to 50. Higher scores indicate greater support from husbands/families. The instrument showed good reliability (Cronbach's alpha = 0.879). The primary outcome was calculated as the difference between baseline (pre-intervention) and post-intervention scores at 4 weeks.
