This study sought to identify characteristics of high-risk pregnant women that predicted long-term participation in a home visitation program.
Data regarding sociodemographic characteristics, perceived needs, psychological functioning, substance use, and informal social support were collected prospectively from 152 short-term and 221 long-term program participants.
In comparison with short-term participants, long-term participants were more likely to have been African American, married, nonsmokers, and enrolled in the program during their second trimester of pregnancy, and they were more likely to have had emotional and instrumental support needs.
Women with greater social support needs and healthier behaviors were more receptive to long-term home visitation than other women.
本研究旨在确定能够预测高危孕妇长期参与家访项目的特征。
前瞻性收集了152名短期项目参与者和221名长期项目参与者的社会人口学特征、感知需求、心理功能、物质使用及非正式社会支持等方面的数据。
与短期参与者相比,长期参与者更有可能是非裔美国人、已婚、不吸烟,且在孕期第二个月加入该项目,他们更有可能有情感和物质支持需求。
与其他女性相比,社会支持需求更大且行为更健康的女性更愿意接受长期家访。
