Trapped in a maze: A meta-ethnography of women's experiences of alcohol use in pregnancy
Introduction
Despite the recognized link between prenatal alcohol consumption and various congenital anomalies, the negative consequences for women's own health and family health, as well as the work done in healthcare to prevent alcohol in pregnancy, the acceptance of alcohol use during pregnancy persists in numerous communities around the world. Knowledge about women's alcohol use in pregnancy and how it relates to the social and cultural context they are part of is important to help and support women in abstaining during pregnancy. This meta-ethnography aims to offer a novel interpretation and conceptual understanding of the experiences of women who consume alcohol during pregnancy by synthesizing insights from existing qualitative studies.
Methods
An interpretative meta-ethnographic design was chosen based on a systematic literature search in seven electronic databases, and manual searches were conducted in 2023. The CASP checklist was used to assess the 18 included articles.
Results
In the synthesis, we use the metaphor of being trapped in a maze to illustrate the complexity of pregnant women's experiences of drinking during pregnancy. Women who drink alcohol during pregnancy are navigating the maze in a whirlwind of conflicting information and knowledge. The findings show how sociocultural norms form rigid pathways within the maze. In relation to their sociocultural context, women use several motives to justify the routes chosen within the maze. The competing information, knowledge and clashing norms within women's sociocultural contexts leave women to navigate alone in the maze.
Conclusions
Alcohol in pregnancy needs to be conceptualized as an issue positioned at the intersection of social sciences and healthcare and needs to be handled accordingly, both through transdisciplinary research, by early prevention and multimodal interventions in healthcare and the broader society. Such interventions would benefit from drawing on knowledge about women's experiences with alcohol in pregnancy.
期刊介绍:
Social Science & Medicine provides an international and interdisciplinary forum for the dissemination of social science research on health. We publish original research articles (both empirical and theoretical), reviews, position papers and commentaries on health issues, to inform current research, policy and practice in all areas of common interest to social scientists, health practitioners, and policy makers. The journal publishes material relevant to any aspect of health from a wide range of social science disciplines (anthropology, economics, epidemiology, geography, policy, psychology, and sociology), and material relevant to the social sciences from any of the professions concerned with physical and mental health, health care, clinical practice, and health policy and organization. We encourage material which is of general interest to an international readership.
