On Thursday 21 August at 14:00, Maiken Meldgaard defends her PhD dissertation entitled "The Health Literacy in Pregnancy (HeLP) research study - Exploring pregnant women's health literacy and organisational health literacy responsiveness in antenatal care".
Pregnancy is often described as a time of excitement and anticipation—but it can also be a labyrinth of information, advice, and decisions. A new PhD project demonstrates that how well pregnant women navigate this labyrinth depends not only on the information available, but also on their ability to understand, interpret, and use this information to interact with healthcare professionals and make informed decisions related to the health of themselvels and their babies.
Using both quantitative and qualitative methods across five studies, the Health Literacy in Pregnancy (HeLP) research study is a needs assessment of pregnant women's health literacy and organisational health literacy responsiveness within Danish antenatal care.
The summary is written by the PhD student.
The defence is public and takes place at Aarhus University, Samfundsmedicinsk Auditorium, building 1262, room 101. Please see the press release for more information.
