| Abstract | THE RELATIONSHIP OF PERCENED TRUST AND PERCENED STRESS AMONG PREGNANT WOMEN RECENING CARE FROM A CERTIFIED NURSE MIDWIFE Maria Torchia LoGrippo Seton Hall University Chair: Dr. Josephine DeVito BACKGROUND: The "with woman" philosophy practiced by certified nurse midwives (CNMs) encourages the formation of personal, collaborative and trusting relationships with pregnant women. METHODS: The purpose of this descriptive correlational study was to examine the relationship between the pregnant women's perceived trust with CNMs and perceived stress using self-reports and questionnaires. Using the Bice and Boxerman (1977) Continuity of Care Index, the study also explored the effect of continuity of carer on perceived trust and perceived stress. RESULTS: Of the 91 pregnant women participating in the study, data was collected from 41 English speaking and 50 Spanish speaking participants using the Health Care Relationship Trust Scale-R (HCR-R; Bova, Route, Fennie, Ettinger, Manchester, & Weinstein, 2012), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS; Cohen, Kamarck & Mermelstein, 1983) and a demographic information form. Psychometrics are presented on the established PSS tools used in both English and Spanish as well as the English version of the HCR-R and the newly translated Spanish version. Descriptive and non parametric inferential statistics were performed and analyzed. The One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) method was also used to examine the effect of continuity of carer. Study results revealed a significant difference on perceived stress reported by English and Spanish speaking women [t(89) = 2.43, P = .017] with the Spanish speaking group reporting less perceived stress than the English speaking group. Important differences existed for educational status, pregnancy history, social support and perceived stress among the two groups. For both English and Spanish speaking groups, pregnant women with higher perceived trust had less perceived stress. For English speaking pregnant women, a significant effect on continuity of carer on perceived trust [F(2,38) =3.20, P =.05] was also revealed. |
