Although a history of unintended pregnancy and accessing HIV testing might promote contraceptive use, criminalized work environments continue to pose barriers to uptake of sexual and reproductive health services among FSWs in post-conflict northern Uganda. Integrated links between HIV and sexual health programs could support contraceptive uptake among FSWs.
(1) Extensive studies have been conducted that explore the mother‐infant relationship from the perspective of maternal attachment but limited research has been conducted on maternal‐fetal attachment. In this integrative review the current state of knowledge on prenatal attachment is examined. Next predictors of maternal‐fetal attachment that have been found and supported by scientific research are explored. Finally, practice and research implications based on analysis of the current status of maternal‐fetal attachment are identified.
These results suggest a critical need for removal of legal and social barriers to realising the SRH rights of all women, and ensuring safe, voluntary access to reproductive choice for marginalised and criminalised populations of FSWs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
