Improving access to and use of prenatal care
1Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, E. A. Conway Memorial Hospital Division, Monroe, LA 71201.
Abstract:
Inadequate prenatal care is one of the most perplexing problems in obstetrics. Many women do not seek prenatal care early, and some obtain no prenatal care. The history of prenatal care, the impact of inadequate prenatal care, and the many factors involved in access to and use of prenatal care are discussed. Nursing implications aimed at exploring ways of reducing these factors are examined.
