This survey research by cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the factors affecting self-care behaviors of pregnant women with inhibited of preterm labor in Pho Sai Hospital, Ubon Ratchathani Province. The sample consisted of 207 pregnant women with inhibited of preterm labor and received services at the labor ward of Pho Sai Hospital from 2021 to 2023. The sample size was calculated using Wayne's formula at a 95% confidence level, and multistage random sampling was used, stratified by the year of service. The data collection instrument was a questionnaire with an IOC of 0.82 and a Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient of 0.88. The statistics used included mean, percentage, standard deviation, and chi-square statistics, with statistical significance set at p-value< 0.05.
The study found that the sample had low knowledge about preterm birth (Mean=2.27, SD=0.82), moderate perception of preterm labor (Mean=3.08, SD=0.72), moderate social support (Mean=2.47, SD=0.67), moderate health motivation (Mean=2.57, SD=0.85), and moderate self-care behavior in pregnant women preventing preterm labor (Mean=3.61, SD=0.77). The analysis of factors affecting self-care behavior in pregnant women preventing preterm labor showed that education level, occupation, average monthly income, sufficiency of income, gestational age, parity, antenatal care history, history of miscarriage, history of preterm birth, history of urinary tract infections during pregnancy, history of other infections during pregnancy, and history of anemia during pregnancy were significantly related to self-care behavior in pregnant women at risk of preterm birth, with statistical significance at p-value< 0.05
