Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research aimed to analyze the self-care of pregnant women making outpatient visits who were diagnosed with threatened premature delivery (TPD) and provided nursing care by certified nurse specialists in women's health nursing. The subjects were 13 pregnant women diagnosed with TPD while visiting the obstetric outpatient department. Data was collected on the care provided, and the responses of pregnant women who received the care. Data on the pregnant women's self-care to prevent premature delivery was analyzed using the 10 power components of Orem's self-care deficit nursing theory. The self-care of the pregnant women was categorized into the 3 patterns. The nursing care provided was "Interviews and assessments of pregnant women's experiences with TPD" and "Provision of knowledge and methods for coping with symptoms of TPD and assuring pregnant women that they were doing their best to care for them".
