Abstract

Objectives: To determine the prevalence of nausea and vomiting in pregnancy (NVP) and assess its severity using the PUQE scale; to identify factors associated with NVP severity; and to evaluate the impact of NVP on the quality of life of pregnant women using the NVPQOL instrument. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 89 pregnant women in their first trimester at the Outpatient Department of Can Tho Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital. NVP severity was assessed using the PUQE scale and classified into three levels: mild (≤ 6 points), moderate (7–12 points), and severe (≥ 13 points). Data were analyzed using SPSS software. Results: The prevalence of NVP in the first trimester was 85.2%. Based on the PUQE scale, 28.4% had mild NVP, 59.1% had moderate NVP, and 12.5% had severe NVP. A higher PUQE score was associated with a greater decline in quality of life as measured by the NVPQOL scale. Conclusion: The prevalence of NVP in the first trimester was 85.2%. Greater attention should be given to assessing NVP severity during routine antenatal care to ensure timely detection and management.
