Being overweight or obese in pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of poor pregnancy outcomes and long-term ill health for both mother and infant. Midwives, obstetricians and healthcare support workers providing care in pregnancy are ideally placed to provide women with nutritional advice and to facilitate the acquisition of a healthy diet. This survey was undertaken to assess the provision of training in nutrition for providers of maternity care at the Bradford Women's and Newborn unit, to evaluate what nutrition information is given and to find out if care providers were satisfied with the knowledge they had. All relevant staff were approached and asked to complete a questionnaire developed by members of the unit's research team. Findings from this survey highlight the wide range of nutrition information provided by care providers at the unit. Education and training needs are being addressed by managers and a dedicated service is being developed for obese women.
孕期超重或肥胖与不良妊娠结局风险增加以及母婴长期健康问题相关。在孕期提供护理的助产士、产科医生和医疗保健支持人员处于理想位置，能够为女性提供营养建议并促进她们养成健康饮食。本次调查旨在评估布拉德福德妇女与新生儿病房为孕产妇护理提供者提供营养培训的情况，评估所提供的营养信息，并了解护理提供者对自身知识的满意度。我们联系了所有相关工作人员，要求他们填写由该病房研究团队成员编制的问卷。本次调查结果凸显了该病房护理提供者提供的营养信息范围广泛。管理人员正在解决教育和培训需求问题，并且正在为肥胖女性开发一项专门服务。
