Prenatal psychosocial risk assessment using Event history calendars with black women
Journal of Obstetric Gynecologic & Neonatal Nursing, 2012Co-Authors: Michelle L Munro, Jody R Lori, Chin Hwa Y Dahlem, Kristy K MartynAbstract:ABSTRACT Objective To explore the clinical acceptability and perceptions of use of a Prenatal Event history calendar (EHC) for Prenatal psychosocial risk assessment in Black pregnant women. Design A qualitative descriptive study focused on interviews and Prenatal EHCs completed by Black pregnant women. Setting Inner city hospital Prenatal care clinic in Southeastern Michigan. Participants Thirty 18–35 year old pregnant Black women receiving Prenatal care at the participating clinic. Methods Women completed the Prenatal EHCs and their perceptions of its use were obtained through face to face interviews. The constant comparative method of analysis (Glaser, 1978, 1992) revealed themes from participants’ descriptions about use of a Prenatal EHC for Prenatal psychosocial risk assessment. Results Three main themes emerged describing how the Prenatal EHC enhanced communication. The Prenatal EHC provided “an opening” for disclosure, “an understanding with you,” and a way for providers to “know you, your life, and future plans.” The participants’ completed Prenatal EHCs included information regarding their pre‐pregnancies, trimester histories, and future plans. These completed Prenatal EHCs showed patterns of change in life Events and behaviors that included worries, stressors, and risk behaviors. The participants perceived the Prenatal EHC as an easy to use tool that should be used to improve communication with health care providers. Conclusions The Prenatal EHC allows the patient and provider to “start on the same page” and provides an additional avenue for discussion of sensitive psychosocial issues with Black pregnant women. As a clinical tool, the Prenatal EHC facilitated patient‐provider communication for pregnant women often marked by health disparities. The Prenatal EHC is a clinically acceptable tool to assess for psychosocial risk factors of Black women in a Prenatal clinical setting.

development of Prenatal Event history calendar for black women
Journal of Obstetric Gynecologic & Neonatal Nursing, 2008Co-Authors: Chin Hwa Gina Yi, Jody R Lori, Kristy K MartynAbstract:ABSTRACT Objectives To identify psychosocial factors that Black women think should be addressed in Prenatal care assessment and develop a Prenatal Event History Calendar to assess these factors. Design A qualitative descriptive study. Setting Two inner city hospital Prenatal care clinics in Southeastern Michigan. Participants Twenty-two Black women who had attended at least 2 Prenatal care visits. Method Three focus groups were conducted using a semistructured interview guide. Main Outcome Measure Using the constant comparative method of analysis (Glaser, 1978, 1992) themes were identified that were relevant to Black women during Prenatal care visits. Results The women in this study wanted to talk with their providers about psychosocial factors and not just the physical aspects of pregnancy. To “go off the pregnancy” represents pregnant women's desire to discuss psychosocial factors that were important to them during Prenatal care. Five themes emerged from the data and were used to develop categories for the Prenatal Event History Calendar: relationships, stress, routines, health history perceptions, and beliefs. Conclusion One vital component of Prenatal care assessment is assessing for psychosocial risk factors. Prenatal Event History Calendar was specifically developed to provide a comprehensive and contextually linked psychosocial risk assessment for use with pregnant Black women.

Fatal outcome following foetal cerebellar haemorrhage associated with placental thrombosis.
European Journal of Paediatric Neurology, 2006Co-Authors: Gustavo Malinger, Neriman Zahalka, D. Kidron, Liat Ben-sira, Tally Lerman-sagieAbstract:Abstract Cerebellar haemorrhage is a rare Prenatal Event. Possible aetiologies for foetal intracranial haemorrhage include: trauma, asphyxia, infection, vascular defects, blood dyscrasias, ingestion of drugs and alloimmune and isoimmune thrombocytopenia. We report the ultrasonographic diagnosis of a cerebellar haematoma at 21 weeks of gestation. The foetus succumbed at 33 weeks of gestation following rupture of a subcapsular liver haematoma. An autopsy demonstrated a placental foetal thrombotic vasculopathy and thrombi in the chorionic vessels. We assume that hypercoagulability was responsible for the multiple infarcts in the foetus with haemorrhagic transformation in the cerebellum and liver. The differential diagnosis of foetal cerebellar haemorrhage includes maternal hypercoagulability; in this case multiple haemorrhagic/ischaemic Events may be encountered during the pregnancy. A thorough investigation to elucidate the aetiology is pertinent in every case of foetal cerebellar haemorrhage in order to enable accurate counselling and correct management.
