Introduction: Paternal involvement (PI) has been recognized to have an impact on pregnancy and infant outcomes. The mother’s satisfaction during the birthing process is the most frequently reported indicator in the evaluation of the quality of maternity services. Male involvement reduces maternal stress increases uptake of prenatal care leads to cessation of risk behaviours and ensures men’s involvement in their future parental roles from an early stage. The aim of the study is to assess the effectiveness of self instructional module paternal attitude towards perinatal outcome and maternal satisfaction on paternal attitude.

After self instructional module intervention, in experimental group, 81.88% of them are having satisfied, 18.12% of them are having not satisfied. In control group, 48.75% of them are having satisfied level of score, 51.25% of them are having not satisfied level of score.
