Summary
The World Health Organization (WHO) developed a safe motherhood program in 1987 to reduce maternal and infant mortality. Safe motherhood is maximizing maternal and child health. This is only possible with the highest level of prenatal, delivery and postnatal care. Care has a priority and special place in primary health care services. It increases access to preventive services such as monitoring prenatal and postnatal follow-ups in primary care, pregnant, postpartum and newborn health, immunization, training and counseling, early detection of risk, and decreases unwanted consequences. Home visits are a non-pharmacological and priority method in prenatal care. With this method, when healthcare providers (nurses, midwives) provide healthcare services to women in their own homes, it ensures the support and development of prenatal, maternal, infant and child health together with social, psychological, economic, familial and other factors. Prenatal care in Turkey is such that there will be at least four follow-ups. Current antenatal care guides suggest more contact with pregnant women.
This study will examine the effects of pregnancy follow-up with home visits on perinatal outcomes.
