The motheræ¯ satisfaction during the birthing process is the most frequently reported in-dicator in the evaluation of the quality of maternity services. The aim of the study is to assess the effec-tiveness of self-instructional module on paternal attitude towards perinatal outcome and maternal satis-faction on paternal attitude.

A five-point rating scale was used to assess the attitude of paternal on pregnancy and labour outcome and check list to assess the postnatal mother satisfaction. Results: The scores improved significantly after intervention, in experiment group, the pre-test, mean score was 78.61 and the post-test mean score was 120.56, whereas in the control group, the pre-test mean score of 79.43 and the post-test mean score was 80.25. In the experimental group, 81.88% of mothers were satisfied whereas 18.12% were not satisfied. In control group, 48.75% were satisfied, while 51.25% were not satisfied.
