Abstract
Background: Preeclampsia belongs to the spectrum of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy
and if untreated leads to dangerous consequences for both the mother and the baby. Aim: The study
aimed to evaluate effect of continuous care model on quality of life among women with
preeclampsia. Research design: Quasi-experimental design (pre-posttest, one group) was utilized.
Setting: The study was conducted at Obstetrics and Gynecological out -patient clinic at Benha
University Hospital. Sampling: A purposive sample of 75 women with preeclampsia was recruited.
Tools of data collection: Three tools were included 1) A self-administered questionnaire,2) selfcare reported practices questionnaire, 3) World Health Organization Quality of Life - BREF.
Results: After implementation of the continuous care model, the total mean score for total quality
of life of the studied sample was higher than the score before implementation with a highly
statistically significant difference (p ≤ 0.001) and there was a highly significant positive correlation
between total self-care reported practices and total quality of life regarding preeclampsia at pre,
immediately post and one-month post-intervention phases (p ≤ 0.001). Conclusion: Continuous
care model had a positive effect on self-care practices and quality of life among women with
preeclampsia.
