description | Maternal mortality continues to rise in the United States and disproportionately affects those in Alabama. Lack of patient education on warning signs is a preventable cause of maternal mortality. This article aims to systematically quantify existing research investigating the effect of patient education on maternal outcomes. The inclusion criteria required an article to be (a) original research, (b) conducted within the United States, (c) in English, and (d) published between January 2012 and September 2022. PubMed® and Embase® databases were searched using key words and filters. Rayyan®, a systematic review research tool, was utilized to assess articles in a blinded two-person review process. A blinded third researcher resolved conflicts. A total of 3,139 articles were compiled; 3,115 articles did not meet inclusion criteria, and 24 articles were retrieved after an abstract review. Ultimately, 11 articles were included after a full-text review. None of these articles were specific to Alabama. However, they did contain evidence for patient education improving maternal mortality. More research is required in Alabama to demonstrate the effect of educating patients on maternal mortality. These articles contain evidence for education as a tool to improve maternal outcomes. |
