is important for maintaining and improving the health of newborns. Therefore, this study was designed
to determine the effect of health-based supportive plan on the performance of primiparous mothers in

(33) selected by census. Data were collected by a demographic information questionnaire designed to

intervention was not significant (p>0.05).The independant T-test and Chi-square showed significant
differences between the maternal action and fetal complications in both groups after the intervention
