Participants were selected using non-probability purposive sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire including a three-point Likert attitude scale. The instructional program consisted of two educational sessions. Statistical analysis was performed using paired sample t-test, independent t-test, and ANOVA. P<0.05 was considered significant.Results: A statistically significant improvement was observed in the overall mean attitude score after the intervention (P<0.001). Education level was significantly associated with post-test attitude scores (P<0.05), while other socio-demographic and obstetrical variables showed no significant association.Conclusion: The instructional program effectively enhanced mothers’ attitudes toward the prevention of uterine prolapse, highlighting the importance of structured health education interventions.
