“Bearing in Mind That I Am a Black Mother”
Women of Color’s Perinatal Experiences
Disparities in maternal health experiences and outcomes are a critical public health problem in the United States. For this large, qualitative study, ninety-six women of color who gave birth within the past three years were interviewed by community researchers. Participants shared in depth information about their experiences throughout the perinatal period. Participants largely felt prenatal care was accessible to them, though some struggled with…
Pregnancy, Birth, Neonatal, and Mental Health Outcomes Are Minimally Associated with Pregnancy Ambivalence
Pregnancy ambivalence is increasingly recognized and studied in sexual and reproductive health research, yet its associations with adverse outcomes remain unclear. The purpose of this paper was to explore different measures of ambivalence and whether any were associated with poor pregnancy, birth, social or mental health outcomes. A cross‐sectional survey was conducted with 1941 individuals assigned female at birth, ages 18–45, who had been pregn…
Clinical Education Experiences of Sexual and Gender Minority Midwifery Students in the United States
Introduction: Diversifying the midwifery workforce is a promising strategy for advancing perinatal health and reducing disparities. Clinical education is essential to midwifery training; yet, the experiences of sexual and gender minority (SGM) midwifery students in these settings remain underexplored. Methods: We conducted a national cross-sectional survey of certified nurse-midwives and certified midwives certified between 2019 and 2024 ( n = 41…
“Patients want to see people that look like them”
Midwifery care and racially or culturally concordant care are evidence-based ways to address the current perinatal health crisis and disparate health outcomes in communities of color in the United States. However, the midwifery profession lacks diversity, which hinders its ability to provide racial or culturally concordant care. Therefore, this study sought to understand the perspectives and journeys of aspiring midwives of color to gain insight …
Mistreatment in health care among women in Appalachia
Good quality patient care requires health care providers to respect the humanity and autonomy of their patients. However, this is not achieved in all settings. This study used cross-sectional survey data including open-ended text responses to explore negative experiences with health care providers among women in Appalachia. We used the Heath Stigma & Discrimination Framework (HSDF) to identify how stigma is created and perpetuated through interac…
Police shootings, now that seems to be the main issue” – Black pregnant women’s anticipation of police brutality towards their children
Interactions between Black people and police on a personal, familial, community, and societal level influenced how Black pregnant women understand the potential for police brutality towards their children. Anticipated police brutality is a source of stress during pregnancy, which may adversely influence maternal and infant health outcomes. Police brutality must be addressed in all communities to prevent harming the health of birthing people and t…
Abortion Knowledge Among Advanced Practice Clinicians in Colorado
The Space in the Middle
Understanding nurses' attitudes toward abortion, and what characteristics may influence their attitudes, is critical to sustaining nursing care for patients considering and seeking abortion. Additionally, because personal characteristics were associated with antiabortion attitudes, it is likely that personal experiences may influence attitudes toward abortion. A large percentage of nurses held attitudes that placed them in the "unsure" category. …
The Reproductive Health Priorities, Concerns, and Needs of Women in Midlife
Reproductive health research rarely involves the inclusion of women over 40, creating a large knowledge gap regarding women in midlife. Women continue to have reproductive health needs, concerns, and priorities up to the point of menopause that should be examined to improve reproductive health outcomes and provide individualized care. In-depth, individual, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 20 women between the ages of 40 and 55 who h…
