在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间，孕妇的产前护理受到干扰。虽然有关于COVID-19对怀孕经历影响的新研究，但大多数报告COVID-19期间产前护理和分娩的研究都没有纳入黑人妇女的第一人称叙述。这项混合方法研究的目的是探讨黑人妇女在大流行期间对产前护理、分娩和分娩的看法。共有33名参与者完成了问卷调查。这33名妇女中的14名和另外2名参加了定性访谈。采用描述性统计和混合方法分析。参与者对怀孕经历的中断表示失望，包括产前护理的方式，计划中的“成人仪式”的取消，以及分娩期间和分娩后的访客政策限制。45%的参与者报告担心感染COVID-19, 61%的参与者担心他们的婴儿感染COVID-19。许多参与者经历了一种失落感，这种失落感可能渗透到他们生活的其他方面。提供额外的支持和联络点可以帮助减轻大流行期间的孤立感，也可以为快速变化的政策和程序提供更多解释
Pregnant women experienced disruptions in their prenatal care during the COVID-19 pandemic. While there is emerging research about the impact of COVID-19 on experiences of pregnancy, the majority of studies that have reported on prenatal care and birth during COVID-19 have not incorporated the first-person accounts of Black women. The purpose of this mixed methods study was to explore the perspectives of Black women on prenatal care, labor, and birth during the pandemic. A total of 33 participants completed questionnaires. Fourteen of these 33 women and an additional two participated in qualitative interviews. Descriptive statistics and a mixed methods analysis were employed. Participants expressed disappointment about disruptions in their experiences of pregnancy including the way their prenatal care was experienced, cancellation of planned “rites of passage,” and visitor policy restrictions during and after the birth. 45% of participants reported being worried about getting COVID-19 and (61%) about their infant getting COVID-19. Many participants experienced a sense of loss that may permeate through other aspects of their lives. Providing extra support and points of contact can help lessen feelings of isolation during the pandemic and can also offer more explanation for rapidly changing policies and procedures
