Young parents' perceptions of barriers to antenatal and postnatal care
British Journal of Midwifery, 10/06/09

Smith DM et al. – This mixed–methods study provides insight into the antenatal and postnatal experiences of young parents in one London primary care trust. Four main barriers to receiving efficient antenatal and postnatal support were highlighted: a lack of male involvement; a poor and uncommunicative relationship between health professionals and young parents; the age restriction of services and a lack of knowledge about support availability. Age, gender and self–esteem were highlighted as influencing the needs and experiences of young parents and thus need to be considered when designing future antenatal and postnatal interventions.
