本研究考察了低收入孕妇的信息寻求及其预测因素（信息需求和信息障碍）。使用三种量表对来自产前诊所的84名孕妇进行了访谈，分别测量了从八个不同来源寻求信息的频率、20个妊娠健康主题的信息需求和15个寻求信息的障碍。大多数女性是黑人，未婚，年龄在20到29岁之间，高中或以下学历，多胎，在怀孕的最后三个月。信息需求和信息障碍是信息寻求的重要预测因子。他们共同解释了寻求结果的26%的差异。高信息需求和低障碍预示着更频繁的信息寻求。首次妊娠和妊娠期间哮喘是信息寻求的重要协变量。低收入孕妇的信息需求和信息障碍与信息寻求有关。为了方便孕妇寻求信息，卫生保健提供者可以评估妇女对信息的需求和妇女在寻求信息时遇到的障碍，以及诸如第一次怀孕和哮喘等因素。J助产妇女保健2009；54:36 64-372 (C) 2009年由美国护士助产士学院。
This study examined in formation-seeking and its predictors (information needs and barriers) in low-income pregnant women. Eighty-four pregnant women from a prenatal clinic were interviewed using three scales that measured the frequency of information-seeking from eight different sources, information needs for 20 pregnancy health topics, and 15 barriers to seeking information, respectively. Most women were black, unmarried, between 20 and 29 years of age, high school educated or less, multigravidas, and in their third trimester of pregnancy. Information needs and barriers were significant predictors of information-seeking. Together, they explained 26% of the variance in the seeking outcome. High information needs and low barriers predicted more frequent information-seeking. First pregnancy and asthma during pregnancy were significant covariates for information-seeking. Information needs and barriers are related to information-seeking among low-income pregnant women. To facilitate pregnant women's information-seeking, health care providers may assess a woman's need for information and barriers that the woman experiences when seeking information, and factors such as first pregnancy and asthma.
