Abstract

Objective: The application of media on lifestyle-related risk factors (LRRFs) by healthcare providers to educate women may improve women’s adherence, health literacy, and awareness of LRRFs, as well as offspring’s health outcomes. This study investigated whether exposure to media-based education in gynecological and obstetric care is associated with LRRFs perceived levels of education received during pregnancy and lactation. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional, observational study across 14 randomly generated sample points in the 12 most populated cities in Baden-Württemberg, southwest Germany. Women were recruited from gynecological and obstetric institutions. Participants were 219 women who met our inclusion criteria and completed the quantitative questionnaire. We applied ordinal logistic regression analyses to calculate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of women’s perceived level of education received related to healthcare providers’ exposure to media-based education. Results: Media-based education on LRRFs during pregnancy through gynecologists and/or midwives were significantly associated with women’s perceived level of education received (gynecologists: OR = 4.26 (95% CI: 2.04, 8.90; p < .001); midwives: OR = 3.86 (95% CI: 1.66, 8.98; p = .002)). Similar results were found for media-based education through gynecologists and/or midwives on LRRFs during lactation and its association with women’s self-assessed level of perceived level of education received (gynecologists: OR = 4.76 (95% CI: 2.15, 10.56; p < .001); midwives: OR = 7.61 (95% CI: 3.13, 18.53; p < .001)). Conclusions: This study suggests that the exposure to media-based education in gynecological and obstetric care increases women’s perceived level of education received of LRRFs during pregnancy and lactation. Therefore, it is recommendable to apply media in gynecological and obstetric care settings.

妇科和产科护理中媒体的使用与女性对生活方式相关风险的教育程度：一项横断面研究

目的:医疗保健提供者对妇女进行生活方式相关危险因素(LRRFs)媒体教育，可以提高妇女的依从性、健康素养和对LRRFs的认识，以及后代的健康结局。本研究调查了以媒体为基础的妇科和产科护理教育是否与LRRFs在怀孕和哺乳期间所接受的教育水平有关。方法:我们在德国西南部巴登-符腾堡州12个人口最多的城市中随机抽取14个样本点进行了横断面观察性研究。妇女是从妇科和产科机构征聘的。参与者是219名女性，她们符合我们的纳入标准并完成了定量问卷。我们应用有序逻辑回归分析来计算女性感知的受教育程度与医疗保健提供者接受媒体教育相关的比值比(ORs)和95%置信区间(ci)。结果:通过妇科医生和/或助产士对妊娠期LRRFs的媒体教育与妇女感知的接受教育水平显著相关(妇科医生:or = 4.26 (95% CI: 2.04, 8.90;p < .001);助产士:OR = 3.86 (95% CI: 1.66, 8.98;p = .002))。通过妇科医生和/或助产士在哺乳期对LRRFs进行媒体教育，以及与妇女自我评估的接受教育水平的关系也发现了类似的结果(妇科医生:or = 4.76 (95% CI: 2.15, 10.56;p < .001);助产士:OR = 7.61 (95% CI: 3.13, 18.53;p < 0.001))。结论:本研究提示，接受基于媒体的妇科和产科护理教育可以提高妇女在怀孕和哺乳期间接受LRRFs教育的感知水平。因此，推荐应用媒体在妇科和产科护理设置。

期刊介绍： For many diseases, women’s physiology and life-cycle hormonal changes demand important consideration when determining healthcare management options. Age- and gender-related factors can directly affect treatment outcomes, and differences between the clinical management of, say, an adolescent female and that in a pre- or postmenopausal patient may be either subtle or profound. At the same time, there are certain conditions that are far more prevalent in women than men, and these may require special attention. Furthermore, in an increasingly aged population in which women demonstrate a greater life-expectancy.
