Resumen

ROVIRALTA PUENTE, Cristina et al. Pre-conception consultation in the Toledo healthcare area. Rev Clin Med Fam [online]. 2013, vol.6, n.1, pp.10-16. ISSN 2386-8201.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1699-695X2013000100003.

Objective: Ascertain the percentage of women who have made a pre-conception consultation, the reasons for the consultation and interventions carried out. Design: Observational descriptive-type study based on personal interviews. Location: Primary healthcare. Participants: 465 women with term pregnancies in the last twelve months. Main Surveyed Data: Having pre-conception consultation (PCC), reasons, professionals consulted, private or public practice, activities carried out (physical or gynaecological examination, laboratory tests, pap smear, genetic study, vaccinations, healthcare advice, chemoprophylaxis) Results: 69.2% of pregnancies were planned. 23.9% of those interviewed made a pre-conception consultation (IC95% 20.0-27.7). PCC was most frequent in first-time mothers over 30 years old, of Spanish nationality and with a university degree (p<0.05). The most common reason for a PCC was the prevention of problems (40.8%). 63.1% used public health services, 31.1% private health and 5.8%, both. The most consulted professional was the family doctor (60.2%). The most frequent activities were:  chemoprophylaxis (94.2%), healthcare advice (82.5%), analysis (68.9%), pap smear (66.0%), physical  examination (55.3%) and gynaecological examination (44.7%). Vaccinations represented only 9.7%. There are differences between activities carried out in public and private health practices. Conclusions: The percentage of planned pregnancies is higher than expected, as was the number of women having PCC, probably due to a greater awareness. The reasons are basically preventive, above the existence of risk factors or chronic illness. There is considerable use of private medicine. There is no unified procedure in activities carried out. Both chemoprophylaxis and vaccination are low.
