Summary
Pregnant individuals in Nova Scotia reported high levels of patient-centered care during prenatal visits. This study found no significant factors correlating with these high patient-centeredness scores.
Area of Science:
- Perinatal healthcare research
- Patient experience and satisfaction studies
- Health services research
Background:
- Patient-centeredness is crucial for high-quality healthcare.
- Limited research exists on patient-perceived patient-centeredness in perinatal care.
Purpose of the Study:
- To measure patient-perceived patient-centeredness in pregnant individuals receiving prenatal care in Nova Scotia.
- To explore potential factors associated with patient-perceived patient-centeredness.
Main Methods:
- An e-survey was administered to 98 pregnant individuals.
- The Patient-Perceived Patient-Centeredness (Revised) (PPPC-R) questionnaire was utilized.
- Descriptive and inferential statistics, including linear regression, were performed.
Main Results:
- The average PPPC-R score was 62.2 (SD 10.5), indicating high patient-centeredness.
- No statistically significant correlates were found for patient-perceived patient-centeredness.
- Observed trends related to age, parity, BMI, race/ethnicity, and education.
Conclusions:
- Pregnant individuals highly rated their clinicians' patient-centeredness.
- No significant differences in patient-centeredness scores were identified based on collected demographic variables.
