This study examined the factors associated with COVID-19 knowledge, perceptions of COVID-19 messaging related to the perinatal population, and examined the association between COVID-19 knowledge and adherence to COVID-19 preventive behaviors among pregnant and postpartum women during the first wave of the COVID-19 stay-at-home orders in the United States.
This was a cross-sectional online survey. A convenience sample of pregnant and postpartum women (18-49) were recruited from across the United States between April and June 2020-during the first wave of the COVID-19 stay-at-home orders. Crude and adjusted logistic regression analyses were performed to estimate odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals.
Of the 584 participants, 22.8% correctly answered all COVID-19 knowledge questions and 85.8% correctly identified the primary COVID-19 symptoms. Participants with at least one chronic health condition (aOR = 0.60, 95% CI = 0.39, 0.94) and who were unmarried (aOR=, 95% CI = 0.43, 0.93) had a lower odds of correctly answering COVID-19 knowledge questions. 62% of participants reported COVID-19 messaging was consistent and 43.3% of participants reported being able to find enough COVID-19 information or resources for pregnant or postpartum women. Participants had high levels of adherence to preventive behaviors. Participants who avoided hosting small gatherings during stay-at-home orders were two time as likely to correctly answer COVID-19 knowledge questions (aOR=, (95% CI = 1.15,3.66).
The findings underline the importance of prioritizing tailored educational and care needs among pregnant and postpartum people as early as possible during a global health emergency.
本研究调查了与新冠病毒疾病（COVID-19）知识、围产期人群对COVID-19相关信息的认知有关的因素，并研究了美国第一波COVID-19居家令期间，孕妇和产后妇女的COVID-19知识与遵守COVID-19预防行为之间的关联。
这是一项横断面在线调查。2020年4月至6月期间，在第一波COVID-19居家令期间，从美国各地招募了18至49岁的孕妇和产后妇女作为便利样本。进行了粗逻辑回归分析和调整逻辑回归分析，以估计具有95%置信区间的比值比（OR）。
在584名参与者中，22.8%正确回答了所有COVID-19知识问题，85.8%正确识别了COVID-19的主要症状。患有至少一种慢性健康状况的参与者（调整后的比值比[aOR]=0.60，95%置信区间[CI]=0.39，0.94）和未婚参与者（aOR=0.43，95%CI=0.43，0.93）正确回答COVID-19知识问题的几率较低。62%的参与者报告COVID-19信息是一致的，43.3%的参与者报告能够找到足够的针对孕妇或产后妇女的COVID-19信息或资源。参与者对预防行为的遵守程度较高。在居家令期间避免举办小型聚会的参与者正确回答COVID-19知识问题的可能性是其他人的两倍（aOR=2.06，95%CI=1.15，3.66）。
研究结果强调了在全球卫生紧急情况期间尽早优先考虑孕妇和产后人群的针对性教育和护理需求的重要性。
