Abstract

Antenatal education is a crucial component of antenatal care, yet practice and research demonstrate that women and men now seek far more than the traditional approach of a birth and parenting program attended in the final weeks of pregnancy. Indeed, women and men participating in this study recommended a range of strategies to be provided during the childbearing year, comparable to a "menu in a restaurant." Their strategies included three program types: "Hearing Detail and Asking Questions," "Learning and Discussing," and "Sharing and Supporting Each Other." The characteristics of each type of program are identified in this article. The actual learning methods the study participants recommended to be incorporated into the programs were "Time to Catch Up and Focus," "Seeing and Hearing the Real Experience," "Practicing," and "Discovering."

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 26. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 15 September 2019.
All research outputs
#1,478,960
of 25,738,558 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Perinatal Education
#65
of 346 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#4,578
of 170,060 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Perinatal Education
#4
of 17 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,738,558 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 94th percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 346 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 29.7. This one has done well, scoring higher than 81% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 170,060 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 97% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 17 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 76% of its contemporaries.
