This study examines knowledge of proper automobile restraint use during pregnancy and attitudes toward restraint use. This manuscript, the second in a series, compares knowledge and attitudes in two populations of pregnant women, those receiving prenatal care at several county clinics and those receiving care in a private practice.
A survey requesting demographic information and frequency and knowledge of proper automobile restraint use was administered during prenatal visits.
County clinic patients (n = 450, 70% black) were younger and less educated than private practice patients (n = 203, 75% non-Hispanic white). Fewer county patients (49%) always wore seatbelts prior to the pregnancy than private practice patients (88%). Correct use was reported by fewer county clinic patients (67%) than private practice patients (83%). Few (25-28%) in either setting reported receiving information on seatbelt use.
Despite existing knowledge with respect to the consequences of seatbelt non-use in pregnant women, the proportion of women receiving information about correct seatbelt use during pregnancy appears to be low, regardless of care source.
本研究调查孕期正确使用汽车安全带的知识以及对使用安全带的态度。本手稿是系列文章中的第二篇，比较了两组孕妇人群的知识和态度，一组是在几个县诊所接受产前护理的孕妇，另一组是在私人诊所接受护理的孕妇。
在产前检查期间进行一项调查，询问人口统计学信息以及正确使用汽车安全带的频率和知识。
县诊所的患者（n = 450，70%为黑人）比私人诊所的患者（n = 203，75%为非西班牙裔白人）更年轻，受教育程度更低。与私人诊所患者（88%）相比，在怀孕前总是系安全带的县诊所患者较少（49%）。报告正确使用安全带的县诊所患者（67%）比私人诊所患者（83%）少。在这两种情况下，很少有患者（25% - 28%）报告收到过关于使用安全带的信息。
尽管人们已经了解孕妇不使用安全带的后果，但无论护理来源如何，在孕期接受正确使用安全带信息的女性比例似乎都很低。
