Abstract
Beliefs and restrictions regarding acceptance of blood products by members of the Jehovah’s Witness faith often provoke discussion among health care professionals regarding alternative interventions. Establishing and maintaining an open dialog with women and families of the Jehovah’s Witness faith regarding their beliefs on the use of blood and blood products are vital in creating a therapeutic relationship between families and the health care team. Such rapport facilitates the discussion of strategies to avoid blood transfusions for newborns and provides women and families multiple opportunities to develop of a holistic birth plan congruent with their beliefs.
