Access to urban green space has been linked to positive health outcomes including enhanced perinatal health. The purpose of this article was to review, summarize, and synthesize what is known about the relationship between urban green space and perinatal health and outline implications for practice, policy, education, and research. Nineteen articles were included in this state-of-the-science review. Overall, it was found that limited access to green space is significantly related to adverse birth outcomes. These findings present an important opportunity for childbirth educators and other clinicians involved in the provision of prenatal and reproductive health care. Through education and intervention, poor perinatal outcomes may be mitigated. Clinical screening and education about the importance of access to and use of urban green space during pregnancy should be an essential component of preconception counseling and antenatal screening for at-risk populations. Policy makers should be made aware of these findings so that impactful change can be made in order to reduce disparities and promote health equity.
接触城市绿地与积极的健康结果相关,包括改善围产期健康。本文的目的是回顾、总结和综合关于城市绿地与围产期健康之间关系的已知信息,并概述对实践、政策、教育和研究的启示。本科学现状综述纳入了19篇文章。总体而言,发现绿地接触受限与不良出生结局显著相关。这些发现为分娩教育工作者和其他参与提供产前和生殖保健的临床医生提供了一个重要机会。通过教育和干预,不良围产期结局可能会得到缓解。针对高危人群,临床筛查以及关于孕期接触和使用城市绿地重要性的教育应成为孕前咨询和产前筛查的重要组成部分。政策制定者应了解这些发现,以便做出有影响力的改变,以减少差距并促进健康公平。
