Impact of climate change on maternal health and quality of life in urban areas: A descriptive study.

Environmental factors play a significant role in maternal morbidity and mortality as well as the impairment of global pregnancy outcomes. The objective of the present research is to examine how maternal health and quality of life are affected by climate change in Bangladeshi and Pakistani population. A convenience sample of 228 participants between the ages of 18 and 35 was gathered through questionnaires. Concurrent, discriminant, and concept validity were used to validate the scale, which also demonstrated strong internal consistency reliability. The research design used in the study was descriptive. Pearson's correlation was utilized to evaluate the quantitative data using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The results of our investigation have highlighted the precise causes of the rise in maternal fatalities as well as their correlation with particular risk factors associated with climate change. The results of this study show that while there is a considerable impact of climate change on life quality, we may be able to improve our social relationships and life quality by becoming more behaviorally engaged in addressing climate change (p-value 0.00). The situation and quality of life may be improved by paying more attention to maternal healthcare, being ready to handle unforeseen climate change difficulties, and strengthening the traditional necessity for improved nutrition and access to maternity healthcare on a worldwide scale.
