The experience of pregnant women in contexts of vulnerability of prenatal primary nursing care: a descriptive interpretative qualitative study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Prenatal primary nursing care contributes to improving the health outcomes of mothers and unborn babies. Some pregnant women in contexts of vulnerability experience prenatal nursing care in a positive way, while some do not. A better understanding of factors influencing this experience could help improve prenatal nursing care. The aim of this study was to describe factors influencing the prenatal primary nursing care experience of pregnant women in contexts of vulnerability. METHODS: Thorne's qualitative interpretative descriptive approach was used. Twenty-four pregnant women in contexts of vulnerability were recruited in local community service centers in Quebec, Canada, using purposive and snowball samplings, to carry out a semi-structured interview. Participants were 16 years old and over, in their second or third trimester, or had given birth in the previous year, and received prenatal nursing care through community health services. Data collection methods included a logbook, sociodemographic questionnaire and semi-structured interview on vulnerable pregnant women's experience with prenatal primary nursing care. The Qualitative Analysis Guide of Leuven guided the inductive thematic analysis, following a constant comparative iterative process. RESULTS: The women's experience was initially influenced by the fulfillment of their needs and expectations. These stem from their previous or current pregnancy experiences, their motivation to receive prenatal care, their family concerns as well as their contexts of vulnerability. From the pregnant women's perspective, the main factors that influenced their experience were the nurse's approach, characteristics and interventions that all impact on their relationship with nurses, as well as the prenatal primary care organization, including the modalities of prenatal care (i.e. schedule, setting, duration, number and frequency of meetings), the continuity and the program's prenatal care services, such as referral to a nutritionist, social worker or other services. CONCLUSIONS: A conceptual framework is proposed to describe relationships among the factors distributed in three dimensions that influence the experience of pregnant women in contexts of vulnerability and to guide nurses in the improvement of prenatal primary care. Considering the complexity of this experience, a person-centered approach is mandatory to promote a positive experience, equity and a better use of services.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
