to describe parenting self-efficacy and family empowerment among expectant mothers with substance use disorders.
the study employed a quantitative cross-sectional design.
participants were 71 pregnant women with substance use disorders entering a gender-specific, substance use disorder, residential treatment facility.
measurement tools included: the demographic data form, the Parenting Sense of Competence Scale, the Addiction Severity Index, and the Family Empowerment Scale.
women in their third trimester reported statistically significant higher levels of both parenting self-efficacy and family empowerment than women in their first trimester.
interventions that promote parenting self-efficacy and family empowerment need to target women in their first trimester.
midwives with specialized training in substance abuse disorders are in a unique position to bolster expectant mothers' parenting capabilities during the addiction recovery process.

Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 68th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,219 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 9.5. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 55% 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 321,098 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 63% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 49 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 34th percentile – i.e., 34% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
