Overview

Cross-sectional study reveals inadequate knowledge and poor infection control practices among pregnant women, highlighting the need for improved targeted antenatal health education.

Key Points

To assess knowledge and adherence to COVID-19 preventive measures among pregnant women seeking antenatal care.
Conducted a cross-sectional survey of 400 pregnant women attending private obstetrics and gynecology clinics in Baghdad, Iraq, from May 1 to June 30, 2020.
Assessed participants' COVID-19 prevention knowledge, hygiene practices, and primary sources of health information.
Knowledge levels regarding COVID-19 were inadequate in 72.0% (n=288) of participants and adequate in 28.0% (n=112).
Preventive practices were rated as poor in 67.25% (n=269) of respondents and good in 32.75% (n=131).
Television was the most common information source at 84.5% (n=338), followed by family and friends at 58.5% (n=234), and healthcare workers at 25.75% (n=103).
