自 1900 年代初期产前护理开始以来，护理的重点一直是降低风险而不是促进健康。产前护理最初是个体化护理，但最近有记录表明，团体产前护理在改善出生结果方面非常成功。对于所有女性来说，在这个关键时刻，在女性定期参与医疗保健系统的同时，强调改善健康行为非常重要。强调心理健康促进可能会减少少数族裔和多数族裔妇女之间出生结果的一些差异，这是有据可查的，因为众所周知，少数族裔妇女的压力、焦虑和抑郁程度更高。为孕妇提供支持并通过产前护理融入知识和技能可以促进少数民族妇女的身心健康。
Since the inception of prenatal care in the early 1900s, the focus of care has been on risk reduction rather than on health promotion. Prenatal care began as individualized care, but more recently group prenatal care has been documented to be very successful in improving birth outcomes. For all women, an emphasis on improving health behaviors is important at this critical time while women are engaging regularly with the health care system. An emphasis on mental health promotion may decrease some of the disparities in birth outcomes that are well documented between minority and majority women, as minority women are known to experience increased levels of stress, anxiety, and depression. Providing support for pregnant women and incorporating knowledge and skills through prenatal care may promote both physical and mental health in minority women.
