Background: Allergic diseases are among the most common chronic diseases in childhood. Early childhood allergy prevention (ECAP) behaviors of those caring for the infant during pregnancy and the first months of life may influence the risk of allergy development over the life course. Motivation and intention to use appropriate primary ECAP measures are thus of critical importance.

- The study focuses on how doctors and midwives need to work together to provide safe care for pregnant women and their babies.
- The researchers created and tested a new version of a survey (ICS-R) to see how well midwives collaborate during different stages of care, like before and after birth.
- The results showed that midwives felt they worked much better with other professionals during the actual birth compared to other times, and certain factors like communication and teamwork were important for successful collaboration.
Background: Ensuring motivated and successful study participation is a key challenge in the design and conduct of health research studies. Previously, recruitment barriers and facilitators have been identified mainly from experience, and rarely based on theoretical approaches. We developed a framework of intentional and actional components of engaged participation in public health research studies (INTACT-RS), informed by psychological behavioral models.

- The study looked at how women feel about the care they receive during pregnancy and childbirth, focusing on two important ideas: empathy and shared decision-making.
- Researchers talked to 150 women who had recently given birth to see if their feelings about care changed depending on whether they were getting prenatal (before birth) or obstetric (during/after birth) care.
- They found that women generally rated the quality of care lower during childbirth than during pregnancy, and some responses didn't clearly show how women truly felt due to changes in their perspectives.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to create and test a tool that measures the quality of care that pregnant women receive from midwives in Germany.
- It involved 201 women who had midwifery care during their pregnancy and were surveyed about their experiences 6 to 18 months after giving birth.
- The findings showed that important factors like teamwork, communication, empathy, and professional skills are key parts of good midwifery care, and a new way to measure these experiences is now available.
