这项全国性调查的目的是探索孕妇对COVID-19的看法及其医疗保健体验。透过病人及公众的参与，我们编制了一份问卷，并于2020年5月透过BBC网站、Twitter及其他网上媒体进行宣传。对调查结果进行了定性专题分析。目前怀孕或在COVID-19大流行期间分娩的妇女被邀请参加全国在线调查。1451名参与者回答了在线问卷。与会者提供了重要的洞察力，在这场大流行期间寻求医疗保健的感知障碍。这些因素包括“不想打扰任何人”、“缺乏来自联合医护人员的更广泛支持”以及媒体的影响力。其他关切包括产前使用虚拟诊所及其对患者的可接受性、分娩伴侣的存在以及就快速变化和不断发展的服务进行信息交流的方式。媒体的影响力也对女性在COVID-19下看待医院护理的方式产生了重大影响，对一些人来说，这影响了她们是否会寻求帮助。这是英国有史以来第一次报道的研究，旨在探索孕妇对COVID-19的看法及其随后的医疗保健经历。它还提供了对寻求护理的障碍以及产前、分娩期间和产后产妇关切问题的深入了解。
The aim of this national survey was to explore pregnant women’s perceptions of COVID-19 and their healthcare experiences. Through patient and public involvement, a questionnaire was developed and advertised via the BBC website, Twitter and other online media during May 2020. The findings were analysed by qualitative thematic analysis. Women who are currently pregnant, or who have delivered during the COVID-19 pandemic were invited to partake in a national online survey. One thousand four hundred fifty-one participants replied to the online questionnaire. Participants provided significant insight into the perceived barriers to seeking healthcare during this pandemic. These include ‘not wanting to bother anyone’, ‘lack of wider support from allied healthcare workers’ and the influence of the media. Other concerns included the use of virtual clinics antenatally and their acceptability to patients, the presence of birthing partners, and the way in which information is communicated about rapidly changing and evolving services. The influence of the media has also had a significant impact on the way women perceive hospital care in light of COVID-19 and for some, this has shaped whether they would seek help. This is the first ever reported study in the United Kingdom to explore pregnant women’s perceptions of COVID-19 and their subsequent healthcare experiences. It has also provided insight into perceived barriers into seeking care as well as maternal concerns antenatally, intrapartum and postpartum.
