This study was designed to describe adequacy and satisfaction with prenatal care in a group of rural low-income women (n = 60) and to determine whether either was correlated with birth outcomes. Despite less than adequate prenatal care in 50% of the women, they were satisfied with their care, and outcomes for infants were good. When compared with women who received adequate prenatal care, there were no differences between the two groups. Tailoring prenatal care to individual needs, including care provided by certified nurse midwives with fewer prenatal visits, could be cost-effective without sacrificing quality. It is time to reexamine the recommended prenatal visit structure and care delivery in this country.
本研究旨在描述一组农村低收入妇女（n = 60）的产前护理充分性和满意度，并确定二者是否与分娩结局相关。尽管50%的妇女产前护理不足，但她们对护理感到满意，且婴儿结局良好。与接受充分产前护理的妇女相比，两组之间没有差异。根据个体需求调整产前护理，包括由认证护士助产士提供次数较少的产前检查，在不牺牲质量的情况下可能具有成本效益。是时候重新审视该国推荐的产前检查结构和护理提供方式了。
