1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

Abstract

backgroundThere are no existing standards of care for integrating trauma-informed care into prenatal care in a patient-centered manner. This study aims to explore preferences of pregnant people regarding prenatal care, prenatal providers, resources, and trauma inquiry and response.

methodsThis study utilized a qualitative descriptive design as part of a longitudinal randomized controlled pilot trial. It was conducted at a university-affiliated federally qualified health center and multi-specialty clinic in a large metropolitan area among a purposive sample of 27 racially/ethnically diverse pregnant individuals. Eligible participants aged ≥ 18 between 10 and 24 weeks gestation were identified via medical charts and recruited in person and by email. Interview-administered structured interviews were provided at the post-intervention assessment. Qualitative data collection extended from June 2023 through April 2024. We performed inductive analysis to generate codes and identify emergent themes derived from participant responses. Participant preferences for prenatal care were interpreted through the lens of the six trauma-informed care principles.

resultsParticipants had an average age of (M = 28, SD = 4.5; range = 19-38) years old. Of the 27 participants interviewed, 21 self-identified as Black (77.8%) and 5 as Hispanic (18.5%). Three themes identified optimal prenatal care preferences, including: (1) Agency and Choice; (2) Emphasis on Maternal and Child health and Wellbeing; and (3) Universal and Personalized Provision of Information and Resources. Participants wanted their providers to be Familiar and Experienced; Personally Engaging; and Emotionally Safe and Supportive. Three additional themes focused on patient preferences for addressing trauma during prenatal visits, including: (1) Value of Addressing Trauma; (2) Approaches to Asking about Trauma; and (3) Sensitive and Empathic Inquiry and Response.

conclusionsPatient preferences identified by this study underscore the need for prenatal care to address the psychological health needs of pregnant patients to deliver high quality, comprehensive prenatal care that is trauma-informed and culturally-responsive.
