ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: Patient-centeredness is an important indicator of peripartum contraceptive care quality. Prior work demonstrates how care fragmentation, provider biases, and other factors sometimes undermine the patient-centeredness and quality of this care. To guide the design of future quality improvement interventions, we explored patient preferences for peripartum contraceptive care. STUDY DESIGN: For this qualitative study, we recruited a convenience sample of individuals receiving prenatal care at the study site and participating in an online survey about their experience of peripartum contraceptive care during February-July 2020. We conducted individual, in-depth, semistructured interviews to assess patients' preferences for peripartum contraceptive care. Using inductive and deductive qualitative content analysis, we evaluated interview data for patient preferences for peripartum contraceptive counseling and organized preferences into domains to inform future quality measurement. RESULTS: Interviews (lasting 7-26 min) included 21 postpartum individuals, who were largely White with high levels of formal education. Many participants described suboptimal care experiences characterized by insufficient information, inadequate centering of patient values, and, occasionally, disrespectful care. We identified four key themes describing patients' desire for (1) comprehensive, anticipatory information from one's peripartum provider; (2) counseling and decision-making that (a) prioritize patient preferences and values and (b) avoid pressure; (3) care that respects patient feelings and wishes; and (4) provider responsiveness to individual patient preferences regarding timing and frequency of counseling. CONCLUSIONS: We newly identify four key domains of patient preferences for peripartum contraceptive care. Additional research is needed to understand peripartum contraceptive care preferences among diverse patient populations. Future research should develop validated measures for evaluating the patient experience of peripartum contraceptive care at scale, as part of ongoing efforts to improve the quality and respectfulness of peripartum care. IMPLICATIONS: Patients want peripartum contraceptive care to provide comprehensive, anticipatory information; elicit and respond to their counseling and decision-making preferences; and demonstrate respect for their wishes.

ABSTRACT

The availability of social media in biomedical education is rapidly expanding. However, there is little information comparing the utility of different social media platforms. The authors sought to describe and evaluate a student-led medical education tool, ObGyn Delivered, that uses three social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter) in order to understand each platform's potential roles, benefits, and barriers and describe their advantages and limitations. Medical educators utilizing social media tools may benefit from focusing their efforts on the strengths of each platform to communicate different messages, provide unique content, and to reach a maximal number of potential users.
