MARTINEZ, Juan Miguel  e  DELGADO, Miguel. Women's expectations and evaluation of a maternal educational program. Colomb. Med. [online]. 2013, vol.44, n.3, pp.134-138. ISSN 1657-9534.

Abstract Objectives: To identify the expectations of women requesting the maternal education program (ME) and to determine their evaluation of it. Methods: a multi-centric observational study was conducted in four hospitals in Spain in 2011 with primiparous women. Socio-demographic and obstetrical variables, among others, were collected through interviews and reviews of medical records. The analysis estimated crude and adjusted odds ratios using logistic regression with a confidence interval of 95%. Results: Newborn care was most requested type of content desired by women (80.33%). Eleven and one quarter percent (11.25%) of the women evaluated ME as being of little or no usefulness or benefit. Women appreciated the follow-up care given during pregnancy and childbirth but ME was not noted as influencing the measurement of these processes (p >0.05). Conclusions: Newborn care was the type of subject mainly demanded by the women in the ME program. Women evaluated ME as being a useful program.
