由于COVID-19大流行，美国孕产妇护理实践的变化有多快，以及以何种方式发生变化？我们的数据表明，伴侣和助产士被排除在分娩室之外，使母亲得不到支持，而提供者面临缺乏保护设备和不明确的指导方针。我们调查快速变化的协议，在医院和医院外的生产和决策背后。我们问，COVID-19是否会导致女性、家庭和提供者从不同的角度看待分娩？这一流行病是否会为未来的政策变化提供一个试验场，以便在流行病和其他类型的灾难中产生有效的孕产妇保健？
How quickly and in what ways are US maternity care practices changing due to the COVID-19 pandemic? Our data indicate that partners and doulas are being excluded from birthing rooms leaving mothers unsupported, while providers face lack of protective equipment and unclear guidelines. We investigate rapidly shifting protocols for in- and out-of-hospital births and the decision making behind them. We ask, will COVID-19 cause women, families, and providers to look at birthing in a different light? And will this pandemic offer a testing ground for future policy changes to generate effective maternity care amidst pandemics and other types of disasters?
