A woman's social pregnancy identity, encompassing awareness, acceptance, and self-care, significantly impacts prenatal care utilization. Positive relationships with healthcare providers are also crucial for adequate prenatal care.

Area of Science:

  • Sociology of Health and Illness
  • Maternal Health
  • Healthcare Access

Background:

  • Many pregnant women in the U.S. lack adequate prenatal care despite access.
  • Personal and cultural factors create barriers to prenatal care utilization.
  • The Social Pregnancy Interaction Model conceptualizes "social pregnancy identity" as key.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To validate the dimensions of the Social Pregnancy Interaction Model.
  • To understand the factors influencing adequate prenatal care.
  • To assess the role of social pregnancy identity in healthcare seeking behavior.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a questionnaire based on prior qualitative research.
  • Administered interviews to 287 pregnant women in central Missouri.

    • Confirmed distinct and significant dimensions: awareness of pregnancy, acceptance of pregnancy, self-care, communication with family/partner, social attitudes toward care, and provider attitudes.
    • Validated key components of the Social Pregnancy Interaction Model.
    • Identified specific psychosocial factors influencing prenatal care.

    Conclusions:

    • The Social Pregnancy Interaction Model shows potential for predicting prenatal care utilization.
    • A strong relationship with a prenatal care provider is vital for adequate care.
    • Addressing social and personal factors is essential for improving maternal health outcomes.
