Pregnant woman in prenatal care
KRTIČKOVÁ, Michaela
The bachelor thesis deals with the issue of care for pregnant women in prenatal care. The thesis is divided into a theoretical part and a practical part. The theoretical part provides a summary of information about pregnancy, including its signs, classification, risk, dating and changes in the maternal organism during pregnancy. Attention is paid to prenatal care, its history, goals, system and examinations within prenatal care. The final theoretical passage deals with the role of the midwife in prenatal care and the education of the midwife in the prenatal clinic. The practical part of the bachelor's thesis aimed to find out: 1) what is the level of awareness of pregnant women attending antenatal clinics by midwives and 2) how much they understand the information provided. The research itself was carried out by means of a qualitative research survey in the form of individual semi-structured interviews. The research survey took place from March to April 2020. The research group consisted of 13 pregnant women attending prenatal counseling centers in Broumov and České Budějovice. Interviews with participants were conducted with their express consents, were anonymous and marked T1 to T13. The interview contained 17 basic questions and other additional sub-questions. The interviews were recorded on an audio recording, from which a literal transcript was made. Three categories and seven subcategories were identified for data analysis. The research showed that most pregnant women are satisfied with the method of transmitting information from midwives, but they do not have enough information about the course of the pregnancy. Most participants reported dissatisfaction with the scope of information provided in antenatal clinics and the need to seek information from other sources. Participants would welcome better communication and greater awareness of the pregnancy process from both the midwife and the doctor. Research has shown that pregnant women do not have sufficient knowledge about pregnancy, lifestyle during pregnancy, changes in the body accompanying pregnancy, or the reasons for examinations performed during prenatal care. The bachelor thesis demonstrates the importance of sufficiently informing pregnant women about the issue of pregnancy and prenatal care. It emphasizes the importance of access and communication by medical staff for the effectiveness of prenatal care. The work should help to bring prenatal care closer to future pregnant women and can help midwives to improve the quality of prenatal care provided and to inform pregnant women more appropriately.
