Negative natural population growth has been accompanied by a deterioration in women’s reproductive health and a high incidence of complicated pregnancies and childbirths. Providing follow-up care for women of reproductive age is considered a priority for preventing complicated pregnancies and childbirths.</p> <p><italic>AIM: </italic>The study aimed to analyze and compare the opinions of obstetricians and gynecologists on the risks of complicated pregnancies and the importance of follow-up care for pregnant women.</p> <p><italic>MATERIALS AND METHODS: </italic>The sociological study “The Role of Follow-Up in the Healthcare of Pregnant Women” involved 157 obstetricians and gynecologists from women’s clinics in the Saratov region. The majority (97%) of respondents were women. Almost half of the respondents (44%) had more than 30 years of work experience. A structured questionnaire developed by O.P. Shchepin et al. was used for data collection.</p> <p><italic>RESULTS: </italic>A recent analysis of the opinions of obstetricians and gynecologists in the Saratov region revealed that the majority (60%) of respondents strongly believed in the importance of enhancing follow-up care in protecting women’s health during preconception preparation, pregnancy, and postpartum management. Meanwhile, 46% of respondents highlighted the importance of follow-up care specifically during pregnancy. According to the respondents, 78% of pregnant women are registered for follow-up early (within the first 12 weeks of pregnancy). Additionally, 88% of respondents attributed late registration to a lack of personal responsibility for health — both for the woman and the unborn child. To facilitate timely registration, 62% of respondents engage in individualized work with women of reproductive age. The possibility of consulting a pregnant woman about the detected diseases in the conditions of public healthсare was mentioned by 70% of the respondents. While 70% of respondents reported observing normal labor courses in their practice, 30% indicated that complicated deliveries occur more frequently. In the context of social care for pregnant women, 62% of respondents issue certificates of transfer to lighter work duties. Responses varied widely regarding the possible causes of endangering the health of a woman and her child. According to 62% of respondents, improving the follow-up care for pregnant women will definitely have an impact on reducing maternal mortality. A comparative analysis revealed that the obstetricians and gynecologists participating in these surveys identified social risks as the primary threats to maternal and child health.</p> <p><italic>CONCLUSION: </italic>The study confirms the social determinacy of complicated pregnancies, which indicates the need to overcome the medicalization of follow-up care for pregnant women.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Обоснование. С 1992 года в Российской Федерации регистрируется снижение рождаемости. На фоне отрицательного естественного прироста населения отмечается ухудшение показателей репродуктивного здоровья женщин, высокая частота осложнений беременности и родов. Диспансерное наблюдение женщин фертильного возраста рассматривается как основное направление предупреждения осложнённого течения беременности и родов.</p> <p>Цель. Компаративный анализ мнений врачей — акушеров-гинекологов о рисках осложнённого течения беременности и значимости проводимого диспансерного наблюдения беременных.</p> <p>Материалы и методы. В социологическом исследовании «Роль диспансерного наблюдения в деле охраны здоровья беременных женщин» приняли участие 157 врачей — акушеров-гинекологов женских консультаций Саратовской области. Большинство (97%) респондентов — женщины. Стаж работы по специальности 44% респондентов более 30 лет. Анкетирование респондентов проводили с использованием вопросов анкеты, разработанной О.П. Щепиным и соавт.</p> <p>Результаты. Анализ мнения акушеров-гинекологов Саратовской области показал, что большинство (60%) респондентов считают необходимым повышение роли диспансерного наблюдения в «охране здоровья женщин в период прегравидарной подготовки, ведения беременной и родильницы», 46% респондентов — «в период беременности». По утверждению респондентов, 78% беременных «поступают на диспансерное наблюдение в ранний срок (до 12 нед беременности). По мнению 88% респондентов, «если беременная не поступает на диспансерное наблюдение в ранний срок, то это может быть связано с отсутствием у женщины ответственности за своё здоровье и здоровье будущего ребёнка». Для своевременной постановки беременных на учёт 62% респондентов «проводят индивидуальную работу с женщинами фертильного возраста». «О возможности в условиях государственного здравоохранения проконсультировать беременную по поводу выявленных заболеваний» заявили 70% респондентов. «Нормальное течение родов в своей практике» отметили 70% респондентов, 30% — «роды чаще при осложнениях беременности». В контексте социальной работы с беременными 62% респондентов выдают справки о переводе на лёгкий труд. Вопрос «Каковы возможные причины угрозы здоровью женщины и её ребёнка?» отмечен большим диапазоном вариантов ответов респондентов. По мнению 62% респондентов, «улучшение диспансерного наблюдения беременных, безусловно, повлияет на сокращение материнской смертности». При компаративном анализе врачи — акушеры-гинекологи, принимающие участие в указанных исследованиях, рассматривают социальные риски как основные угрозы здоровью беременной и ребёнка.</p> <p>Заключение. Результаты проведённого исследования подтверждают социальную детерминированность осложнённого течения беременности, что указывает на необходимость преодоления медикализации диспансерного наблюдения беременных.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>complicated pregnancy</kwd><kwd>follow-up care</kwd><kwd>risks</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>осложнённое течение беременности</kwd><kwd>диспансерное наблюдение</kwd><kwd>риски</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><award-group><funding-source><institution-wrap><institution xml:lang="ru">Министерство науки и высшего образования РФ</institution></institution-wrap><institution-wrap><institution xml:lang="en">Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation</institution></institution-wrap></funding-source><award-id>121051100308-8</award-id></award-group></funding-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Beglov DE, Artymuk NV, Novikova ON, et al.
