Abstract
Aims to describe pregnant women with poor emotional health and the relationship between self‐reported emotional health and prenatal care satisfaction. To this end, 1,265 women who delivered a live‐born singleton infant were interviewed and information abstracted from prenatal records. Concludes that patient assessment of satisfaction with prenatal care may be related to both self‐reported emotional health and delivery of medical care. Identifying and addressing emotional health of prenatal patients may improve compliance with medical recommendations, ultimately improving health outcomes.
