The importance of communication and empathy in women with high risk pregnancy

Svaka trudnoća kod koje postoji opasnost od komplikacija, bilo tokom same trudnoće ili pri porodu, smatra se visokorizičnom trudnoćom. Prema nekim istraživanjima oko 20% svih trudnoća spada u tu skupinu. Kod ovakvih je trudnoća nužan pojačani nadzor te češće kontrole kod liječnika. Osim toga, potrebno je i prije trudnoće učiniti odgovarajuće pretrage. Sustav zaštite materinstva tijekom trudnoće, porođaja i babinja naziva se antenatalna skrb. Sveobuhvatna antenatalna skrb u razvijenim zemljama smatra se jednim od temelja dobre socijalne i zdravstvene politike. Čitav niz faktora može utjecati na rizičnost trudnoće, poput starosti trudnice (preko 35 godina), ranije neuspješne trudnoće, dijabetesa, hipertenzije, srčanih mana i sl. Komunikacija i empatija prema trudnicama čija je trudnoća visokorizična osobito je važna. Takve je trudnice važno educirati o svim rizicima te mjerama koje trebaju poduzeti kako bi trudnoća prošla što je najbolje moguće. Zbog toga je važno da liječnici i medicinske sestre ostvare kvalitetnu komunikaciju s trudnicom te uspostave odnos povjerenja. Svrha je ovog rada ispitati znanje trudnica o rizicima u trudnoći te ispitati učestalost pojava komplikacija u trudnoći i pri porodu. Rad se također bavi navikama trudnica, i to navikama koje mogu biti štetne u trudnoći (konzumacija alkohola i cigareta) te onim navikama koje mogu imati pozitivan utjecaj na trudnoću (fizička aktivnost i prehrana).Any pregnancy at risk of complications, whether during pregnancy or at birth, is considered to be a high-risk pregnancy. According to some research, about 20% of all pregnancies belong to this group. In such pregnancies there is a need for increased monitoring and more frequent control of the doctor. In addition, it is necessary to make appropriate tests before pregnancy. The system of maternity protection during pregnancy, childbirth and babies is called antenatal care. Comprehensive antenatal care in developed countries is considered to be one of the foundations of good social and health policy. A whole host of factors can affect the risk of pregnancy, such as pregnancy (over 35 years of age), previously unsuccessful pregnancy, diabetes, hypertension, heart failure, etc. Communication and empathy to pregnant women whose high risk pregnancy is particularly important. Such pregnant women are important to educate about all the risks and measures that need to be taken to get it done as quickly as possible. It is therefore important for doctors and nurses to achieve quality communication with the pregnant woman and establish a trustful relationship. The purpose of this paper is to examine pregnant women's knowledge of the risks of pregnancy and to examine the incidence of complications in pregnancy and at delivery. The work also deals with pregnancy habits and habits that can be harmful to pregnancy (alcohol and cigar consumption) and habits that may have a positive effect on pregnancy (physical activity and nutrition)
