Adequate prenatal care as defined by timely initiation and completion of prenatal visits has been frequently associated with good perinatal outcomes. Health beliefs and other psychosocial and demographic variables were explored in a cohort of 255 rural recently delivered women to determine the important correlates with adequate prenatal care. Respondents' health beliefs relating to pregnancy and prenatal care were assessed with an instrument with acceptable construct validity and reliability. A prevention-oriented health belief score, tangible social support, and adequate health insurance were all positively associated with adequacy of care as defined above.
按照产前检查及时开始并完成的定义，充分的产前护理常常与良好的围产期结局相关。在一组255名近期分娩的农村妇女中，对健康信念以及其他社会心理和人口统计学变量进行了探究，以确定与充分产前护理的重要关联因素。使用一种具有可接受的结构效度和信度的工具，评估了受访者与怀孕及产前护理相关的健康信念。以预防为导向的健康信念得分、切实的社会支持以及充足的健康保险，均与上述定义的护理充分性呈正相关。
