Aim: This study examined the effectiveness of planned teaching programme regarding knowledge on identification of high risk pregnancy among healthcare workers working at periphery level in Daman. Methods and Materials: A pre-experimental one group pre-test and posttest deign was used with convenient sampling technique on 80 samples. Structured knowledge questionnaire was used to assess the knowledge. Result: The pretest level of knowledge on antenatal care among health care workers shows that 60% of them have average, 38.75% them have poor and 1.25% of them have good knowledge. Posttest finding shows that 51.25% of them have average, 47.5% them have good and 1.2% of them have poor knowledge. It shows that pretest mean was 3.762 and posttest mean was 6.575, SD was 2.27, mean difference was 2.8123. Calculated paired t test value [t (79, 0.05) = 10.97 > 2.8123] is higher than the table value, which shows that the planned teaching programme was effective. The association between the level of knowledge and their socio- demographic variables were assessed by chi- square test which shows there is no significant.
