Abstract

Objective:To explore women's experience of bed rest in high risk pregnancy. Design:Naturalistic, qualitative. Sample, Setting:Twelve adult, pregnant women on prescribed bed rest of a minimum of 20 hours per day and for at least 3‐weeks duration were interviewed in one Western state of the U.S.A. regarding their experiences. Findings:Three major themes were perceptions of high risk pregnancy, perceptions of bed rest, and the experience of time and restricted movement. The women described a high level of physical, emotional, familial, and economic hardship resulting from the bed‐rest experience. Having adequate income, health insurance, and a supportive relative to take over household responsibilities were dimensions of successful maintenance of bed rest in the women. Conclusions:The routine obstetric procedure of bed‐rest should be reevaluated in light of its lack of demonstrated effectiveness and potential to seriously harm women and their families. Clinical Implications:Women should be fully informed about controversies surrounding the efficacy of bed rest in pregnancy and encouraged to participate in decisions when complications occur regarding the prescription of prolonged bed rest.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
