Abstract
INTRODUCTION Psycho-social vulnerabilities are a medical risk factor for both fetus and mother. Association between socioeconomic status and prenatal follow-up has been well established and inadequate follow-up is associated with higher morbidity and mortality in women in unfavorable situations. OBJECTIVE The objective is to identify screening strategies and to describe existing systems for pregnant women in psycho-social vulnerability in French maternity hospitals. MATERIAL AND METHODES This is a national survey conducted by questionnaire in all French maternities. RESULTS Screening by means of targeted questions is carried out by 96.7% of maternity units. Early prenatal interviews are offered systematically by 64% of maternity units and access to them is still difficult for women in vulnerable situations. In order to organize care pathways, 28.7% of maternities have a structured unit within their establishment and 81% state that they have mobilizable caregivers. Multidisciplinary meetings for the coordination of the various stakeholders are held by 85.8% of maternity units. Collaboration with networks and associations is emphasized. CONCLUSION A large proportion of maternities seek to identify women in situation of psycho-social vulnerabilities and to organize care paths. However, the resources implemented still appear insufficient for many maternity units. Each maternity hospital has resources and is developing initiatives to deal with the difficulties of care.

BMC Public Health 2021; 21:1522. [PMID: 34362316 PMCID: PMC8348826 DOI: 10.1186/s12889-021-11463-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2020] [Accepted: 07/07/2021] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Antenatal psychosocial vulnerability is a main concern in today's perinatal health care setting. Undetected psychosocially vulnerable pregnant women and their unborn child are at risk for unfavourable health outcomes such as poor birth outcomes or mental state. In order to detect potential risks and prevent worse outcomes, timely and accurate detection of antenatal psychosocial vulnerability is necessary. Therefore, this paper aims to develop a screening tool 'the Born in Brussels Screening Tool (ST)' aimed at detecting antenatal psychosocial vulnerability. METHODS The Born in Brussels ST was developed based on a literature search of existing screening tools measuring antenatal psychosocial vulnerability. Indicators and items (i.e. questions) were evaluated and selected. The assigned points for the answer options were determined based on a survey sent out to caregivers experienced in antenatal (psychosocial) vulnerability. Further refinement of the tool's content and the assigned points was based on expert panels' advice. RESULTS The Born in Brussels ST consists of 22 items that focus on 13 indicators: communication, place of birth, residence status, education, occupational status, partner's occupation, financial situation, housing situation, social support, depression, anxiety, substance use and domestic violence. Based on the 168 caregivers who participated in the survey, assigned points account between 0,5 and 4. Threshold scores of each indicator were associated with adapted care paths. CONCLUSION Generalied and accurate detection of antenatal psychosocial vulnerability is needed. The brief and practical oriented Born in Brussels ST is a first step that can lead to an adequate and adapted care pathway for vulnerable pregnant women.

[PMID: 33189352 DOI: 10.1016/j.encep.2020.06.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2019] [Revised: 05/28/2020] [Accepted: 06/19/2020] [Indexed: 10/23/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES A survey was conducted in the maternity hospitals of French Guiana in 2017-2018 centered on uses of tobacco, alcohol and pemba (clay) during pregnancy, including questions about violence and the perception of adverse situations during pregnancy. The data used here allow an analysis of lifetime violence and the experience of the last pregnancy. METHODS An ad hoc questionnaire was designed including some questions to identify at risk situations and T-Ace items for measuring problematic alcohol use. It was adapted to specificities of the local population groups, migrants or from borders, and asking for the maternal tongue. It was administered to women following childbirth. The questionnaire was strictly anonymous. The ethics committee had validated the questionnaire and the collection procedures (Decision 2017-25). In addition, to the issue of violence, seven questions were asked about women's experiences with pregnancy. A bivariate analysis identified significantly associated variables that were used for a multicomponent analysis to identify a typology of women based on their pregnancy experience (Modalisa8 and SPSS19). The very small number of women who smoked tobacco or cannabis during pregnancy (16 and 7 women respectively) led us to ignore these variables. RESULTS The survey interviewed 789 women throughout Guyana. They were on average 28.9 years old at this pregnancy and had an average of 3.24 living children comprised this newborn. The questioned women were younger than in metropolitan France, less often married, with a low level of education, often foreigners, especially Haitian or Surinamese. Overall, 174 women, or 22% of the total reported having experienced violence in their lifetime, with four women refusing to answer the question. The profiles of the concerned women were not very different according to their ages or levels of education, but differed significantly from the average on several characteristics, such as their mother tongue, marital status, nationalities, whether living on state aid not related to employment or family allowances, or having no resources, living around Cayenne or Kourou and having been on the territory for less than two years. Three groups of women were distinguished by the multicomponent analysis. The first group comprised essentially foreign women living around Cayenne, alone with children, having a low educational level, and having experienced difficulties to cope with this pregnancy. They reported no use of psychoactive substances. They experienced violence more often than in the other groups (almost one in two). One in five had migrated during the last pregnancy. The second group was composed more often of French women, born in Guyana or in metropolitan France. They more often lived with a partner, had a good educational level, personal or marital incomes. They expressed more often worry, with sleep problems but with an entourage to rely on. Before pregnancy they drank alcohol at events but one in three had a T-Ace scoring at two or more. They had a good pregnancy follow-up. The last group was composed of women living around Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni or in remote communities, with a low educational level, living alone with numerous children. They didn't feel worry and had good sleep. They didn't experience violence. They differed by their use of pemba and beer and late or inadequate pregnancy follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Data on violence in French Guyana show that young people and women declare more often having experienced physical violence, in or out of family life. Young women are overrepresented thus a survey in childbearing women must reveal a high frequency of these events. Our data allow us to go further, by associating this experience of violence and the experience of pregnancy with socio-demographic variables. We can thus see that the overall average obtained on a large number of indicators is smoothed by extremely contrasting situations, of women feeling safe or not, well followed or not for this pregnancy, etc. The groups distinguished by the MCA reveal the contrast between women of Haitian nationality in the Cayenne region and Surinamese or Nengee-speaking women, who are grouped around Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni or in the isolated municipalities of western Guyana. One sub-group stands out in particular for the combination of lifetime violence and very unfavorable conditions during the last pregnancy, both of precariousness, isolation and recent migration. The experience of violence and pregnancy in poor conditions require close actions to take charge of these women, especially since they are at risk for sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV.

JOURNAL OF OBSTETRICS AND GYNAECOLOGY CANADA 2020; 42:977-983. [PMID: 32418858 DOI: 10.1016/j.jogc.2020.01.023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/15/2019] [Revised: 01/15/2020] [Accepted: 01/15/2020] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To analyze risk factors for the presence of sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections (STBBIs) in pregnancy and to determine whether pregnant women with STBBIs are more likely to experience adverse pregnancy outcomes. METHODS This retrospective cohort study involved analyzing the electronic records of 3460 pregnant women followed at Sainte-Justine Hospital in Montréal, Québec, between March 2017 and January 2019. An outcome is defined as a pregnancy where the woman has at least one positive laboratory result for chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, hepatitis B, or hepatitis C (i.e., has one or multiple STBBIs). We performed a logistic regression analysis to determine adjusted odds ratios (aORs) for the risk factors of STBBIs in pregnant women. RESULTS We identified 84 positive STBBI cases, an overall prevalence of 2.4% (95% CI 1.9-2.9). A logistic regression analysis showed the following factors to be significantly associated with the presence of STBBIs in pregnancy: age <20 years (OR 4.75; 95% CI 1.89-11.96), age 20-29 years (OR 2.38; 95% CI 1.37-4.14), Afro-Caribbean origin (OR 4.12; 95% CI 1.83-9.27), other non-Caucasian origin (OR 2.38; 95% CI 1.20-4.70), and history of STBBIs (OR 2.33; 95% CI 1.02-5.36). STBBIs were not significantly associated with social and material deprivation indices nor were they associated with low birth weight or preterm birth. CONCLUSION This study shows age <20 years, age 20-29 years, Afro-Caribbean or other non-Caucasian origin and history of STBBIs to be risk factors for the presence of STBBIs in pregnancy. These results will allow us to propose interventions to reduce STBBIs in women with common risk factors as part of a comprehensive approach to perinatal care.
