Strengthening Antenatal Care towards a Salutogenic Approach: A Meta-Ethnography.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore how midwives, public health nurses and nurses view caring in antenatal care (ANC) as provided for mothers and fathers/partners, and identify four core themes: (1) supporting the parents to awaken to parenthood and creating a firm foundation for early parenting and their new life situation; (2) guiding parents on the path to new responsibility; (3) ensuring normality and the bond between baby and parents while protecting life; and (4) promoting the health and wellbeing of the family today and in the future.

Abstract: The aim was to explore how midwives, public health nurses and nurses view caring in antenatal care (ANC) as provided for mothers and fathers/partners. Based on Noblit and Hare (1988), meta-ethnography was used to address meaning by synthesizing knowledge and understanding inductively through selected qualitative studies (n = 16). Four core themes were identified: (1) supporting the parents to awaken to parenthood and creating a firm foundation for early parenting and their new life situation; (2) guiding parents on the path to parenthood and new responsibility; (3) ensuring normality and the bond between baby and parents while protecting life; and (4) promoting the health and wellbeing of the family today and in the future. The overarching theme can be expressed as “helping the woman and her partner prepare for their new life with the child by providing individualized, shared care, firmly grounded and with a view of the future”. Caring in antenatal care (ANC) is being totally present, listening and using multidimensional professional competence but also being open-minded to new aspects and knowledge. The health promotion and positive health aspects should be considered an important part of supporting parents and the whole family now and in the future. A more conscious salutogenic approach to ANC would lead to more favorable results and could be a fruitful research topic in the future. There is a need to provide midwives/nurses with enough time to allow them to concentrate on specific needs and support for different kind of families in ANC but also training for midwives to make them more familiar with online and other options.
