Book Providers  Satisfaction with Provision of Prenatal Care During the COVID 19 Pandemic

Download or read book Providers Satisfaction with Provision of Prenatal Care During the COVID 19 Pandemic written by Bisma A. Zulifqar and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pregnant women are among a high-risk patient population for contracting COVID-19, but they still require adequate prenatal care throughout pregnancy to ensure optimal health for both the fetus and mother. Many prenatal appointments have transitioned to telemedicine visits due to the contagious nature of COVID-19. Provider satisfaction is an important metric to study as there is an association between provider satisfaction, the quality of care they provide, and patient satisfaction. Thus, understanding provider satisfaction with providing prenatal care via various visit types and factors that determine this satisfaction is fundamental, especially as there are limited studies on provider satisfaction with prenatal care. A survey questionnaire was disseminated to prenatal care providers through email and online methods. The questionnaire was developed from an adapted provider satisfaction theoretical framework to evaluate health care professionals' satisfaction with delivering prenatal care using telemedicine. The adapted model assesses five main components: Professionals' Demographics, Care Setting, Intrinsic Factors, Motivations, and Experiences. Twenty-six physicians completed the survey questionnaire. Demographics factors, such as provider age and providers years in practice, compared with categories of audio telehealth and video telehealth satisfaction did not have statistically significant differences. 100% of providers reported being satisfied with their overall ability to provide prenatal care, and 92.3% reported being satisfied with the overall prenatal care provided after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. 63.6% of providers reported satisfaction with their ability to provide appropriate prenatal care via telehealth. 60% of providers reported being satisfied with video telehealth prenatal care provided compared to 36% being satisfied with audio telehealth prenatal care provided. 48% of providers reported that they will continue to use telehealth prenatal care visits after the COVID-19 pandemic. Statistical analysis used to compare continuation of telehealth use in the future to certain demographic factors, provider age and provider years in practice, found that neither provider age nor years of practice were statistically different. Prenatal care provider demographics, experiences, motivations, and intrinsic factors were not associated with providers' satisfaction of provision of prenatal care, and providers reported differing satisfaction between prenatal care visit types.

This book was released on 2020-05-01 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The delivery of high quality and equitable care for both mothers and newborns is complex and requires efforts across many sectors. The United States spends more on childbirth than any other country in the world, yet outcomes are worse than other high-resource countries, and even worse for Black and Native American women. There are a variety of factors that influence childbirth, including social determinants such as income, educational levels, access to care, financing, transportation, structural racism and geographic variability in birth settings. It is important to reevaluate the United States' approach to maternal and newborn care through the lens of these factors across multiple disciplines. Birth Settings in America: Outcomes, Quality, Access, and Choice reviews and evaluates maternal and newborn care in the United States, the epidemiology of social and clinical risks in pregnancy and childbirth, birth settings research, and access to and choice of birth settings.

Book Factors Related to Women s Experiences and Satisfaction with Prenatal Care

Download or read book Factors Related to Women s Experiences and Satisfaction with Prenatal Care written by Patricia Gregory and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prenatal care provides numerous maternal and infant health benefits, and it is more likely to be effective if women begin receiving care early and continue their care throughout pregnancy. Patient satisfaction is recognized as a predictor of adherence to medical recommendations and utilization of care. The purpose of this study was to identify the factors associated with pregnant women's satisfaction with prenatal care in Winnipeg. A cross-sectional, descriptive, correlational design was used to examine the relationships between expectations, interpersonal processes of care, the quality of prenatal care, personal characteristics, and the type of provider with overall satisfaction, as well as with satisfaction with each of the following dimensions: information, provider care, staff interest, and system characteristics. Donabedian's (2003) structure, process, and outcome framework guided the study. A convenience sample of 216 pregnant women from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds was surveyed using self-administered questionnaires in late third trimester; providers were obstetricians (58.2%), midwives (15.9%), family physicians (13.9%), nurse practitioners (4.8%), or mixed (7.2%). Multiple linear regression analyses were used to identify predictors of satisfaction. Perceived quality of care was a significant predictor of overall satisfaction and all the satisfaction subscales. The provider's interpersonal style was a significant predictor in all but one of the satisfaction measures, satisfaction with information, where patient-centered decision-making was significant. The type of prenatal care provider (midwife) was a predictor of satisfaction with system characteristics. Expectations for prenatal care were unrelated to satisfaction. Although most of the participants in this study were satisfied with prenatal care, 5-20% reported dissatisfaction with various dimensions. The findings of this study have implications for future research, practice, education and policy. Important information on structure and process was generated, with the potential to improve the experience and satisfaction of women receiving prenatal care.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prenatal care programs have proven effective in improving birth outcomes and preventing low birthweight. Yet over one-fourth of all pregnant women in the United States do not begin prenatal care in the first 3 months of pregnancy, and for some groupsâ€"such as black teenagersâ€"participation in prenatal care is declining. To find out why, the authors studied 30 prenatal care programs and analyzed surveys of mothers who did not seek prenatal care. This new book reports their findings and offers specific recommendations for improving the nation's maternity system and increasing the use of prenatal care programs.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within the continuum of reproductive health care, antenatal care provides a platform for important health-care functions, including health promotion, screening and diagnosis, and disease prevention. It has been established that, by implementing timely and appropriate evidence-based practices, antenatal care can save lives. Endorsed by the United Nations Secretary-General, this is a comprehensive WHO guideline on routine antenatal care for pregnant women and adolescent girls. It aims to complement existing WHO guidelines on the management of specific pregnancy-related complications. The guidance captures the complex nature of the antenatal care issues surrounding healthcare practices and delivery, and prioritizes person-centered health and well-being --- not only the prevention of death and morbidity --- in accordance with a human rights-based approach.

Book Health Insurance is a Family Matter

Download or read book Health Insurance is a Family Matter written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2002-09-18 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Health Insurance is a Family Matter is the third of a series of six reports on the problems of uninsurance in the United Sates and addresses the impact on the family of not having health insurance. The book demonstrates that having one or more uninsured members in a family can have adverse consequences for everyone in the household and that the financial, physical, and emotional well-being of all members of a family may be adversely affected if any family member lacks coverage. It concludes with the finding that uninsured children have worse access to and use fewer health care services than children with insurance, including important preventive services that can have beneficial long-term effects.
