Abstract:
As poor pregnancy outcomes remain a problem, prenatal care programs are a prominent issue for the work-site. This study was designed to assess what prenatal care programs exist at five companies in the southeastern corner of Tennessee. The respondents completed a self-report survey and interview exploring the prenatal care programs offered by their organization for pregnant employees. Frequency counts were used to analyze the data. The results and discussion suggest that the companies realize the importance of prenatal care education, but each company implemented programs to varying degrees of comprehensiveness. This study can assist wellness coordinators and Human Resource managers in development of prenatal care programs at the work-site.
