Abstract/OtherAbstract:
OBJECTIVE: to explore the strategies used by Jordanian women to manage nausea and vomiting during pregnancy.
DESIGN: cross sectional descriptive study.
SETTING: the three regions of Jordan.
PARTICIPANTS: 235 women aged 18-54 years who had been pregnant.
FINDINGS: there a number of strategies were used by Jordanian women in the sample for the alleviation of nausea and vomiting of pregnancy, varying from non-pharmacological strategies such as diet and lifestyle changes to the use of complementary alternative medicine and pharmacological treatments.
IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: preparing women and their families to manage nausea and vomiting during pregnancy effectively is important; midwives should encourage women to seek help from care providers when they need it, and continue to assess nausea and vomiting and management strategies during the first weeks of pregnancy.
