Kinkhoestvaccinatie tijdens de zwangerschap: wensen voor informatievoorziening en organisatie
article
Introduction. We studied the information and care need of pregnant women regarding maternal pertussis vaccination (MPV). Methods. We conducted a cross-sectional study using an online survey among 202 pregnant women. They were asked what kind of information they would want to receive about the vaccination, at which moment and from whom, as well as from whom they would like to receive the vaccine. Results. Participants wanted to receive information about side-effects for themselves and the baby, the effectiveness of the vaccine, and the risk for babies to get pertussis with or without a vaccination. They prefer receiving information about the vaccine from their midwife, followed by their gynecologist or general practitioner (GP), and prefer to be informed ahead of getting the vaccine, at the beginning of pregnancy or at 20 weeks of pregnancy. Participants indicated that they would prefer to receive the vaccine from their obstetric care provider or their GP. Conclusion. This study provides practical implications for the development of communication about and the organization of MPV. The obstetric care provider is seen to be the most preferred source of information about the vaccine. They could play an important part in the communication about the vaccine.
