ABSTRACT A contraction stress test (CST) is performed near the end of pregnancy (34 weeks of gestation) to determine how well the foetus will cope with the contractions of childbirth. The aim is to induce contractions and monitor the foetus to check for heart rate abnormalities using a cardiotocograph. A CST is one type of antenatal foetal surveillance technique. A contraction stress test (CST) is a test for pregnant people. It checks your baby for signs of stress during uterine contractions. Objectives of the study: the main objective of the study is to assess the effectiveness on self-instructional model regarding contraction stress test among antenatal mothers. Methodology: A quantitative research approach and pre experimental research design was adopted for the present study. The study was conducted at Sri Manakula Vinayagar Medical College and Hospital, Puducherry. 50 antenatal mothers were selected who fulfilled the criteria. Results: The major findings of the study shows that in pre-test 25(50%) of them had moderate knowledge, 25(50%) of them had inadequate knowledge. In post-test level of knowledge on contraction stress test, majority 41(82%) of them had adequate knowledge, 9(18%) of them had moderate knowledge on contraction stress test among antenatal mothers. Hence it is highly significant. Conclusion: The study implies that the knowledge regarding contraction stress test among antenatal mothers was found to be moderately adequate and they need some improvement of knowledge in the form of health education regarding contraction stress test.
