Objectives:The current best practice implementation project aimed to improve the quality of continuity of care and emotional well-being in women with high-risk pregnancies.Introduction:Perinatal mental health disorders, such as perinatal depression and anxiety, are considered major health issues and are associated with poor maternal and neonatal outcomes. Women with high-risk pregnancies are considered a group of women with a substantial vulnerability and the value of continuity of care is vital in this group.Methods:The current project used the pre–post implementation clinical audit following the JBI Evidence Implementation framework. A baseline audit and a follow-up audit were conducted involving 120 high-risk pregnant women in a hospital's obstetric unit. An intervention was performed establishing a midwife consultation and a referral circuit for the different healthcare professionals. A screening was performed through several validated questionnaires.Results:To reflect the continuum of care, three topics were selected, including antenatal psychosocial assessment, intrapartum care and postpartum depression assessment, with a total of 10 criteria. The baseline audit results showed 0% compliance in all the criteria since the proposed standards of care did not exist before the audit. After the implementation of the strategies, the compliance achieved 100% in all audit criteria. A multidisciplinary hospital guideline was established for standardized care and mental well-being care for high-risk pregnant women.Conclusion:Follow-up in the mental health of pregnant women is insufficient. Improving emotional well-being in pregnancy should be a target of clinical practice. More national and international guidelines to assess mental well-being during pregnancy and the postpartum period should be developed.

Objective: The objective of this review was to map and analyze midwives’ interventions for reducing fear of childbirth in pregnant women. Introduction: Fear of childbirth is a phenomenon negatively affecting women's health and well-being before and during pregnancy. Over the past few decades, there has been growing research interest in interventions for reducing fear of childbirth in pregnant women. One of the challenges in midwifery care is to provide an appropriate model of care for pregnant women with fear of childbirth. Further research efforts are needed to identify midwives’ interventions for reducing fear of childbirth in pregnant women and to examine their characteristics. Inclusion criteria: This scoping review considered studies that included midwives’ interventions for reducing fear of childbirth in pregnant women. Specifically, interventions were led and/or implemented by midwives during the antenatal period, and integrating all possible midwifery practice settings. Quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods studies were included. This review also considered systematic reviews, text and opinion papers, and conference abstracts. Methods: The JBI methodology for conducting scoping reviews was used. Published and unpublished literature in English, Portuguese, and Spanish from January 1981 to October 2020 was included. MEDLINE (PubMed), CINAHL Complete, APA PsycINFO, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, SciELO, MedicLatina, Academic Search Complete, ERIC, Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection, and the Cochrane Library databases were searched. Searches for gray literature were also undertaken on the Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal, ProQuest Dissertations and Theses, British Library EThOS, OvidSP Resource Center, Banco de Teses da CAPES, and OpenGrey. A three-step search strategy was followed, and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis extension for Scoping Reviews checklist was used. Two independent reviewers extracted the data using a data extraction tool developed specifically for this scoping review. Results: A total of 3704 articles were identified and screened, of which 34 articles were included. The majority of studies had been published in the past 10 years (88%) in Scandinavian countries or Australia (79%). Several midwives’ antenatal interventions were found, such as midwife-led team models of care. Midwives played a facilitator role that varied across the included studies. In 20 studies (59%), midwives led and implemented the interventions alone (n = 13; 38%) or with the participation of other health professionals (n = 7; 21%). In the remaining 14 studies (41%), midwives were part of a multidisciplinary team that included different health professionals (mainly obstetricians and psychologists) who had been involved in delivering interventions alongside midwives or with minor participation from midwives. Counseling (n = 12; 35%) and psychoeducation (n = 8; 24%) were the most common midwife interventions for reducing fear of childbirth in pregnant women. Conclusions: Midwives working across their full scope of practice play a pivotal role in reducing fear of childbirth, which may explain the variety of midwives’ antenatal interventions. Reducing fear of childbirth in pregnant women and promoting normal childbirth as a positive experience are key features of midwives’ interventions, which should include women's empowerment measures. Evidence-based midwife-led intervention programs for pregnant women with fear of childbirth should be designed and tested to improve clinical practice as well as women's reproductive outcomes and perinatal experiences.

Fear of childbirth is a common feeling experienced by pregnant women, and it can occur before, during, or after childbirth. Intense fear has a detrimental effect on physical and psychological statuses of the pregnant women. The aim of this randomized controlled trial was to examine the effectiveness of a nurse-led program together with the mobile phone application to enhance pregnant adolescents’ childbirth self-efficacy and reduce their fear of childbirth. The sample was pregnant adolescents receiving antenatal care in a regional hospital in Southern Thailand. Using the minimization procedure, pregnant adolescents were assigned to either an experimental group receiving the program (n = 64) or a control group receiving routine care (n = 64). The instruments used for data collection consisted of a demographic characteristics form, the Fear of Childbirth in the Third Trimester Questionnaire, and the Thai Childbirth Self-Efficacy Inventory. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, paired t-test, and independent t-test. The results showed that after completion of the intervention program, the participants in the experimental group had a significantly higher mean score on childbirth self-efficacy and lower fear of childbirth than before the intervention. When comparing the two groups after completion of the program, results showed a significantly higher childbirth self-efficacy mean score, and lower fear of childbirth mean score in the experimental group than those in the control group. The results indicate that application of childbirth self-efficacy enhancement program can increase self-efficacy and reduce fear of childbirth in pregnant adolescents. Therefore, it is a promising program for caring pregnant adolescents but needs to be tested with other samples before implementation in practice.
