“…As part of broader work on health after HDP, an online survey study assessing knowledge of long-term health and information needs of post-HDP Australian women (n = 266) found that most post-HDP respondents (76%) wanted information 0–6 months postpartum, and from a HCP (80%), key organisations (60%), social media (47%) and brochures/flyers (43%)[ 25 ]. However, there is limited understanding of women’s preferences of how best to provide the information [ 26 ]. This study explored women’s preferred content, format and access to education regarding long-term health after HDP.…”

Background Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) affect 5–10% of pregnant women. Long-term health issues for these women include 2–3 times the risk of heart attacks, stroke and diabetes, starting within 10 years after pregnancy, making long-term health after HDP of major public health importance. Recent studies suggest this knowledge is not being transferred sufficiently to women and how best to transmit this information is not known. This study explored women’s preferred content, format and access to education regarding long-term health after HDP. Methods This was a qualitative study and framework analysis was undertaken. Women with a history of HDP who had participated in a survey on long-term health after HDP were invited to participate in this study. During telephone interviews women were asked about preferences and priorities concerning knowledge acquisition around long-term health after HDP. Results Thirteen women were interviewed. They indicated that they wanted more detailed information about long-term and modifiable risk factors. Their preference was to receive risk counselling from their healthcare provider (HCP) early after giving birth along with evidence-based, print or web-based information to take home. All women suggested more structured postnatal follow-up, with automated reminders for key appointments. Automated reminders should detail rationale for follow-up, recommended tests and discussion topics to be addressed at the appointment. Conclusion Our findings show that most participants wanted information soon after birth with all women wanting information within 12 months post birth, complemented with detailed take-home evidence. Participants indicated preference for structured follow-up via their HCP with automated alerts about the appointment and recommended tests. This evidence can be used to guide the development of education programs for women on health after HDP which may enhance knowledge, preventive health management and more generally improve women’s health trajectories.

“…Not only the educational interventions improved the obstetrics outcomes, but also the non-obstetric parameters were affected by them. Overall, the significant higher knowledge score ( 24 , 26 ), greater levels of decreased DBP ( 26 , 28 ), reduced SBP ( 28 ), the higher Apgar score ( 26 ) and satisfaction ( 26 , 28 ), and more awareness about HDP complications ( 26 ) were observed in the included studies (The p -value of the mentioned outcomes was reported <0.05 in the articles).…”

“…The most frequent disorder was pre-eclampsia. Various educational intervention tools were used for assessment of efficacy of education in the included studies: educational pamphlets ( 27 , 28 ), mobile-based educational application ( 11 ), a combination of pamphlets, pictographic magnet, and videos ( 24 ), prenatal health education and nutrition interventions ( 29 ), and a mixture of PowerPoint, as well as data, show projectors and conversation ( 26 ) were used for the purpose of education ( Table 2 ). All studies reported a positive impact of educational interventions on the hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.…”

“…All included studies showed that providing training related to HDP is effective in increasing pregnant women's knowledge about the disease. Accordingly, providing educational interventions through various methods, including mobile applications ( 11 ), pamphlets ( 24 , 27 , 28 ), face-to-face training approaches ( 25 , 26 ), and a combination of different training methods, increases the knowledge of pregnant women in this regard.…”

“…Another study in Australia also supported that increasing the coverage of prenatal care and the education level of women elevates mothers' knowledge about the symptoms of childbirth risks. In another study, it was observed that the level of awareness was significantly associated with age, the level of education, employment status, and monthly household income of pregnant women ( 28 ). Therefore, the importance of raising awareness in pregnant women has been indicated previously, and the need for interventions to increase awareness is, today, felt more than ever.…”

BackgroundHypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP), including chronic hypertension, preeclampsia and gestational hypertension, is the cause of about 50,000 deaths out of 400,000 perinatal deaths. HDP is an effective risk factor in stroke, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases like ischemic heart disease. There is a significant relation between HDP, lifestyle, and knowledge. Unfortunately, many studies showed that pregnant women have lack of knowledge about HDP. Therefore, the importance of educational interventions is, today, more acknowledged than before.AimThe goal of this systematic review was to investigate the effect of interventional educations on the knowledge of pregnant women about HDP.MethodsA systematic review of the related articles was conducted. We included English randomized controlled trials published up to December 2021, including pregnant women as population, HDP as the outcome, and educational interventions as the intervention.ResultsAfter the process of study selection, six articles containing 819 pregnant women were included in this study. Educational pamphlets, mobile-based application, a mixture of pamphlets, pictographic magnet and videos, and a combination of PowerPoint and data show projectors and conversation were the educational interventions in these studies.ConclusionsThe positive effects of educational interventions on the knowledge of women with HTP were observed in all studies. The higher knowledge leads to HDP-related complications.Systematic Review Registrationhttps://archive.org/details/osf-registrations-gcs5r-v1, identifier: doi: 10.17605/OSF.IO/GCS5R.
