| Popis: | Objective To compare perceived quality of prenatal care and pregnancy-related self-reported empowerment between women participating in CenteringPregnancy versus those receiving individual prenatal care provided by certified nurse-midwives in the same clinic. Design Nonexperimental, longitudinal, descriptive feasibility study of two independent groups. Setting/Local Problem A prenatal clinic in northern Texas where all care is provided by certified nurse-midwives. Participants The study assessed 51 women receiving self-selected prenatal care in the form of individual prenatal care (n = 37) or CenteringPregnancy (n = 14). Intervention/Measurements Outcomes analyzed included perceived quality of prenatal care and pregnancy-related self-reported empowerment. Results The results showed no statistical significance between the individual prenatal care and CenteringPregnancy groups with regard to perceived quality of prenatal care or pregnancy-related self-reported empowerment. Conclusion CenteringPregnancy has the capability to provide women with quality of care equal to that achieved through traditional prenatal care. Despite the lack of statistically significant findings, this study exposes several areas of interest and provides guidance for future studies evaluating prenatal care. |
