目的:定义社会人口学特征、医学因素、知识、态度和与健康相关的行为,以区分已确诊的糖尿病妇女在孕前寻求护理和仅在怀孕后寻求护理。研究设计和方法:一项多中心病例对照研究,研究对象为首次孕前就诊(n = 57)或未接受孕前护理的首次产前就诊(n = 97)的确诊糖尿病妇女。结果:怀孕前的受试者更有可能结婚(93比51%)、与伴侣同居(93比60%)和就业(78比41%);拥有更高的教育水平(73%高中以上对41%)和收入(86%至20,000美元对60%);胰岛素依赖型糖尿病(IDDM)患者(93比81%)。患有IDDM的孕前受试者更有可能与他们的卫生保健提供者讨论孕前护理(98比51%),并被鼓励接受孕前护理(77比43%)。在产前组中,只有24%的怀孕是有计划的。孕前患者对糖尿病有更多的了解,认为孕前护理有更大的好处,并得到更多的工具支持。结论:只有约三分之一的确诊糖尿病妇女接受孕前护理。干预措施必须解决预防意外怀孕的问题。提供者必须把每一次与糖尿病妇女的访问视为孕前访问。必须明确讨论避孕问题,并计划怀孕。在咨询中,应强调孕前护理的好处,并应征求家人和朋友的支持。
OBJECTIVE- To define sociodemographic characteristics, medical factors, knowledge, attitudes, and health-related behaviors that distinguish women with established diabetes who seek pre-conception care from those who seek care only after conception.RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS- A multicenter, case-control study of women with established diabetes making their first pre-conception visit (n = 57) or first prenatal visit without having received pre-conception care (n = 97).RESULTS- Pre-conception subjects were significantly more likely to be married (93 vs. 51%), living with their partners (93 vs. 60%), and employed (78 vs. 41%); to have higher levels of education (73% beyond high school vs. 41%) and income (86% > $20,000 vs. 60%); and to have insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) (93 vs. 81%). Pre-conception subjects with IDDM were more likely to have discussed preconception care with their health care providers (98 vs. 51%) and to have been encouraged to get it (77 vs. 43%). In the prenatal group, only 24% of pregnancies were planned. Pre-conception patients were more knowledgeable about diabetes, perceived greater benefits of pre-conception care, and received more instrumental support.CONCLUSIONS- Only about one-third of women with established diabetes receive pre-conception care. Interventions must address prevention of unintended pregnancy. Providers must regard every visit with a diabetic woman as a pre-conception visit. Contraception must be explicitly discussed, and pregnancies should be planned. In counseling, the benefits of pre-conception care should be stressed and the support oi families and friends should be elicited.
