The purpose of the study was to identify prenatal care incentives and benefits in 17 European countries. All participating countries completed a questionnaire on their prenatal care delivery system, incentives and benefits. Results were analyzed according to their direct or indirect relationship with prenatal care attendance. Direct incentives require a prenatal care visit to be eligible for the benefit. Indirect incentives support the pregnant woman but do not require a prenatal care visit to be eligible for the benefit. All 17 countries offer direct incentives, such as paid maternity leave. In 9 countries, pregnant women receive direct financial incentives. Eleven countries offer indirect incentives, such as transportation benefits. Prenatal care incentives such as financial benefits and social supports are widespread in Europe. The combination of incentives superimposed upon an inclusive health care system create a supportive environment which encourages prenatal care attendance.
该研究的目的是确定17个欧洲国家的产前护理激励措施和福利。所有参与国家都填写了一份关于其产前护理提供系统、激励措施和福利的调查问卷。根据这些措施与产前护理就诊的直接或间接关系对结果进行了分析。直接激励措施要求进行产前护理就诊才有资格获得福利。间接激励措施是对孕妇的支持，但不要求进行产前护理就诊就有资格获得福利。所有17个国家都提供直接激励措施，如带薪产假。在9个国家，孕妇可获得直接经济激励。11个国家提供间接激励措施，如交通福利。诸如经济福利和社会支持等产前护理激励措施在欧洲很普遍。激励措施与包容性医疗保健系统相结合，营造了一个鼓励产前护理就诊的支持性环境。
