Media use in gynecological and obstetric care and women’s perceived level of education received of lifestyle-related risks: A cross-sectional study

OBJECTIVE: The application of media on lifestyle-related risk factors (LRRFs) by healthcare providers to educate women may improve women’s adherence, health literacy, and awareness of LRRFs, as well as offspring’s health outcomes. This study investigated whether exposure to media-based education in...

description OBJECTIVE: The application of media on lifestyle-related risk factors (LRRFs) by healthcare providers to educate women may improve women’s adherence, health literacy, and awareness of LRRFs, as well as offspring’s health outcomes. This study investigated whether exposure to media-based education in gynecological and obstetric care is associated with LRRFs perceived levels of education received during pregnancy and lactation. METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional, observational study across 14 randomly generated sample points in the 12 most populated cities in Baden-Württemberg, southwest Germany. Women were recruited from gynecological and obstetric institutions. Participants were 219 women who met our inclusion criteria and completed the quantitative questionnaire. We applied ordinal logistic regression analyses to calculate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of women’s perceived level of education received related to healthcare providers’ exposure to media-based education. RESULTS: Media-based education on LRRFs during pregnancy through gynecologists and/or midwives were significantly associated with women’s perceived level of education received (gynecologists: OR = 4.26 (95% CI: 2.04, 8.90; p < .001); midwives: OR = 3.86 (95% CI: 1.66, 8.98; p = .002)). Similar results were found for media-based education through gynecologists and/or midwives on LRRFs during lactation and its association with women’s self-assessed level of perceived level of education received (gynecologists: OR = 4.76 (95% CI: 2.15, 10.56; p < .001); midwives: OR = 7.61 (95% CI: 3.13, 18.53; p < .001)). CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that the exposure to media-based education in gynecological and obstetric care increases women’s perceived level of education received of LRRFs during pregnancy and lactation. Therefore, it is recommendable to apply media in gynecological and obstetric care settings.
