The influence of social support on attitudes, health behaviors and attaining prenatal care was assessed in 300 postpartum patients. Demographic, medical, sociocultural, attitudinal and behavioral factors were assessed by interview and review of the medical chart. Three discrete social support factors (intimacy, comfort, security) were identified by factor analysis. The presence of social support was correlated with positive prenatal attitudes, not using drugs, and adequate health resources. Stepwise multiple-regression analysis demonstrated that one social support factor (intimacy), two health behaviors (not drinking and not smoking while pregnant), and parity accounted for 22% of the variance in amount of prenatal care.
在300名产后患者中评估了社会支持对态度、健康行为及获得产前护理的影响。通过访谈和查阅病历评估人口统计学、医学、社会文化、态度和行为因素。通过因子分析确定了三个离散的社会支持因素（亲密感、舒适感、安全感）。社会支持的存在与积极的产前态度、不使用药物及充足的健康资源相关。逐步多元回归分析表明，一个社会支持因素（亲密感）、两种健康行为（孕期不饮酒和不吸烟）以及产次占产前护理量变异的22%。
