| Abstract |
Prenatal education is vital to a person's journey into pregnancy and parenthood. Prenatal education is an excellent tool for providing important information about pregnancy, postpartum, and newborn care. Evidence indicates that prenatal education can be delivered in a variety of formats. This project aims at developing a prenatal education class that is easily accessible to all patients. This project includes resources for staff members about the prenatal education course and information on how the project will improve patient care in the labor and delivery unit. Resources for the patients will also be provided in the form of a patient handout. This project aims to improve knowledge about pregnancy complications, information about labor and delivery, postpartum care and complications, and caring for the newborn. Patients who participate in the education may benefit through decreased hospital stays, lower c-section rates, and increased confidence in caring for themselves and their newborn babies. Staff members can benefit because the time they typically use to educate patients at admission can instead be used to focus on direct patient care. |
