Pregnant women consume numerous medications, some of which are potentially harmful to the fetus. It is especially important that these women are provided with information about these drugs. This study was undertaken, in part, to document the amount of information pregnant women have about the drugs they consume and the sources of their information. Study participants were 304 women selected at random from the postpartum inpatients at a teaching hospital. Mothers were interviewed to obtain drug exposure data and to determine what, if any, information they had about the drugs. The source of information for each drug consumed was also determined. Results show that pregnant women have little information for each drugs they consume. Mothers most often cited primary medical personnel (physicians and nurses) as sources of information about specific drugs. In contrast, only six patients cited the pharmacist as a source of information about specific drugs. However, patients ranked the pharmacist high as a source of general drug information. This report emphasizes the need for more drug information for pregnant women and highlights the role of the pharmacist in providing such information.
孕妇会服用多种药物，其中一些可能对胎儿有害。向这些女性提供有关这些药物的信息尤为重要。本研究部分旨在记录孕妇对所服用药物的了解程度及其信息来源。研究参与者是从一家教学医院的产后住院患者中随机选取的304名女性。对母亲们进行访谈以获取药物接触数据，并确定她们对这些药物有哪些（如果有的话）信息。还确定了所服用每种药物的信息来源。结果显示，孕妇对所服用的每种药物了解甚少。母亲们最常将初级医务人员（医生和护士）列为特定药物信息的来源。相比之下，只有6名患者将药剂师列为特定药物信息的来源。然而，患者将药剂师列为一般药物信息的重要来源。本报告强调需要为孕妇提供更多药物信息，并突出了药剂师在提供此类信息方面的作用。
