Covid-19 vaccination during pregnancy: A mixed-methods study of attitudes in a sample of Italian women and the role of health professionals’ communication

ObjectivesWe examined Italian pregnant women's attitudes about the diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (DTP) vaccine, seasonal influenza, and Covid-19 vaccines, healthcare professionals’ (HP) communication, reasons and potential predictors for non-adherence. MethodsFrom August 2021 to January 2022, we carried out a cross-sectional study in Italy using an online self-administered questionnaire addressed to women of age and pregnant, designed using LimeSurvey and disseminated through social media. Questions explored vaccination attitude/perceptions, satisfaction, and trust in HPs’ information. Thematic analysis of free-text responses was performed using MaxQDA 2022. Statistical analyses were performed using STATA. Results1594 responses were obtained. 52% of women hesitated to be vaccinated against Covid-19 while pregnant. Information received by HPs was deemed incomplete by 56% of participants, unclear by 52%, and untrustworthy by 46%; 49% felt unsupported in their decision-making process. This variable was one predictor of vaccine hesitancy together with concern about vaccine safety in the multivariate model. The analysis of open-ended questions revealed a pervasive feeling of dissatisfaction. ConclusionThe perceived lack of adequate communication and support by HPs affected pregnant women’s decision-making process on Covid-19 vaccination.

Factors Influencing Attitudes Toward Physical Activity and Exercise Education in Pregnant Women

Background: The aim of this study was to report on attitudes of pregnant women regarding exercise and exercise education and to identify factors influencing their interest in receiving exercise education. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was completed by 134 women being evaluated for a routine obstetrical visit. Self-reported information regarding demographics, physical activity participation, confidence in knowledge about pregnancy exercise guidelines, and interest in receiving information about exercise during pregnancy was obtained. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the data. Multiple logistic regressions were performed to measure associations between patient characteristics and exercise decline, confidence, and interest. Results: Participants had a mean age of 33.6 ± 4.3 years, mean BMI of 27.9 ± 5.0, and a mean gestational age of 26 ± 10 weeks. Reported level of physical activity decreased during pregnancy for 73.9 % of women. A significant association was found between pre-pregnancy physical activity (OR 2.00 (1.21-3.52), p = 0.010) and exercise decline. Significant, independent relationships were identified between increased confidence in exercise education and younger patient age (OR 0.89(0.82-0.98), p = 0.015), previous pregnancies (OR 0.43 (0.21-0.86), p = 0.060), higher level of pre-pregnancy exercise (OR 1.73 (1.19-2.53), p = 0.004), and more education received from physicians (OR 1.94 (1.54-2.49), p < 0.001). Interest in education was associated with higher level of physical activity before pregnancy (OR 1.75(1.21-2.57), p = 0.004) and lower amount of education received from physicians (OR 0.78(0.63-0.97), p = 0.025). Conclusions: Women commonly report a decline in exercise during pregnancy, particularly among women with high levels of physical activity prior to pregnancy. Attitudes toward pregnancy exercise education were found to be correlated with patient characteristics including age, nulliparity, level of physical activity before pregnancy, and education received from physicians. These associations can be used to identify target populations for future interventions.

Comparison of the oral and dental health awareness of pregnant individuals: A pilot study from Turkey

Background: In this study, it was aimed to investigate the sociocultural and socioeconomic status of pregnant patients who applied to the department of oral and maxillofacial surgery for tooth extraction as well as their level of awareness about oral and dental health. Methods: A questionnaire including total of 16 questions about their awareness, practices and attitudes towards oral and dental health was filled by 193 pregnant volunteers, and the results were evaluated statistically. Results: When the attitudes of pregnant women towards oral and dental health were examined according to their monthly income, it was found that there was no statistically significant difference (p&amp;gt;0.05). However, it was determined that the attitudes of pregnant women with a middle income towards oral and dental health were better. In addition, it was determined that there was a statistically significant difference in the level of consciousness between those who had a dental examination during pregnancy and those who did not (p&amp;lt;0.05). Conclusions: Not all the pregnant women are always aware that they may have problems by their oral and dental health during their pregnancy and moreover, they are not always well informed by the health personnel. It seems there is a lack of dental health controls in Turkey for pregnants. This pilot study indicates that oral health screening needs to be a routine procedure of antenatal clinics in Turkey in order to inform pregnants in detail regardless of their sociocultural and socioeconomic status to reach better oral health and consequently better pregnancy outcomes.
