Prematurity Education in High Risk Pregnancies

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Prematurity, High Risk Pregnancy

In brief

Prematurity is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Given the high risk of death and disability, it is important for parents to understand the complications of prematurity so they can make decisions for their child. Unfortunately, these discussions often occur in the acute setting of threatened preterm labor when stress and anxiety make comprehension difficult. This study aims to improve parental understanding by providing early education of prematurity in the clinic setting for patients at high risk of preterm delivery.
