Backround: Uterine prolapse happens when the uterus moves from its normal position into or outside the vaginal canal due to weakened pelvic muscles and ligaments. Aim: assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding uterine prolapse among women in a selected hospital, Chennai Methods: Cross sectional study design was used for the study. The study was conducted in a selected hospital at Chennai. The study sample size was estimated as 200. A total of 200 women were selected using a purposive sampling technique. Finding: The study revealed that 37% of participants had poor knowledge about uterine prolapse, 54% had average knowledge, and 9% had good knowledge. Attitudes towards uterine prolapse were positive in 22.5% of participants, neutral in 45%, and negative in 32.5%. In terms of practices, 30% demonstrated good practices, 50% moderate practices, and 20% poor practices. Age significantly influenced knowledge and practice, while residence and marital status significantly affected attitude. Education level was a significant factor across all domains, showing strong correlations with better knowledge, attitudes, and practices. Occupation significantly influenced attitudes and practices but not knowledge. These findings emphasize the importance of targeted educational interventions. Conclusion: The study concluded that most participants had average knowledge, some had poor knowledge, and a few had good knowledge, indicating a need for educational interventions. Attitudes towards uterine prolapse were mostly neutral, with some positive and negative views. Practices showed that while some participants adhered well to recommendations, many demonstrated moderate or poor practices, highlighting the need for improved education and intervention.
