Prenatal care is essential for maternal and neonatal health. Nursing professionals play a key role in providing comprehensive care.
To analyze the concept of prenatal caring in the context of maternal-perinatal care from the perspective of nursing professionals and pregnant women.
The concept was developed using the hybrid model by Schwartz-Barcott and Kim, which comprises theoretical, fieldwork, and analytical phases. The first step included a review of 23 articles published between 2012 and 2022, sourced from various databases. Then, five interviews were conducted with low-risk pregnant women and five with nursing professionals, followed by inductive content analysis using ATLAS Ti® software. Finally, a general definition was formulated.
Prenatal caring is defined as a humanized interaction between the pregnant woman, her family, and nursing professionals, grounded in kindness, respect, and commitment. It requires empathy, attentiveness to individual needs, and a focus that goes beyond technical procedures to emphasize holistic well-being.
A distinction is drawn between prenatal care and prenatal caring, the latter being understood as a woman- and family-centered process. Operational and time constraints hinder the delivery of this care, highlighting the need to strengthen nursing leadership and foster care models that prioritize maternal and infant well-being.
Prenatal caring in nursing addresses the emotional and relational needs of pregnant women and their families. It enhances adherence to prenatal checkups, contributes to the reduction of mortality, and supports preparation for childbirth. It reaffirms an approach centered on the woman, her unborn child, her partner, and the family.
产前护理对孕产妇和新生儿健康至关重要。护理专业人员在提供全面护理方面发挥着关键作用。
从护理专业人员和孕妇的角度分析围产期护理背景下的产前护理概念。
采用施瓦茨 - 巴科特和金的混合模型来构建该概念，该模型包括理论、实地调查和分析阶段。第一步包括回顾2012年至2022年间发表在各种数据库中的23篇文章。然后，对5名低风险孕妇和5名护理专业人员进行了访谈，随后使用ATLAS Ti®软件进行归纳性内容分析。最后，制定了一个通用定义。
产前护理被定义为孕妇及其家人与护理专业人员之间基于友善、尊重和承诺的人性化互动。它需要同理心、关注个人需求，并且关注点超越技术程序，强调整体幸福感。
区分了产前护理和产前关怀，后者被理解为以妇女和家庭为中心的过程。操作和时间限制阻碍了这种护理的提供，凸显了加强护理领导力和培育优先考虑母婴福祉的护理模式的必要性。
护理中的产前关怀满足了孕妇及其家人的情感和关系需求。它提高了产前检查的依从性，有助于降低死亡率，并支持分娩准备。它重申了一种以妇女、她未出生的孩子、她的伴侣和家庭为中心的方法。
