进行了一项问卷调查，以确定孕妇和医疗保健专业人员是否知道正确使用安全带，以及是否提供了建议。共有154名孕妇和56名卫生专业人员参加了这项研究。共有115名（74.6%）孕妇在驾驶时系安全带; 51名（33.1%）妇女对怀孕期间系安全带表示担忧; 8名（14.2%）妇女接受了卫生专业人员的建议。67名（43.5%）孕妇和9名（16%）卫生专业人员指出安全带的位置不正确。大多数医生和社区助产士只在被要求时才建议妇女使用安全带。这项研究表明，几乎一半的孕妇不知道安全带的正确使用，这使她们面临受伤的风险。知情的产前护理提供者应通过教育对孕妇的做法产生重大影响。
A questionnaire survey was conducted to determine if pregnant women and healthcare professionals were aware of the correct use of a seatbelt and if advice was given. A total of 154 pregnant women and 56 health professionals were included in the study. A total of 115 (74.6 %) pregnant women wore seatbelts as drivers; 51 (33.1%) women were concerned about wearing the seatbelt in pregnancy; eight (14.2 %) received advice from health professionals. Incorrect positioning of a seatbelt was indicated by 67 (43.5 %) pregnant women and nine (16 %) health professionals. The majority of the doctors and community midwives advised women on seatbelt use only if asked. This study shows that almost half of pregnant women are ignorant of the correct use of a seatbelt, which puts them at risk for injuries. Well-informed prenatal care providers should substantially influence the practice among pregnant women through education.
