SCREENING METHODS DOWN SYNDROME PREGNANCY

Abstract

Introduction: Down syndrome is one of the most prevalent genetic diseases. Screening methods for this syndrome are easy and safe and are recommended to all pregnant women particularly mothers over 35 years of age. This study aimed to review the status of Down syndrome screening and related factors in Iranian pregnant women.Methods: This descriptive analytical study was carried out in 2011. It included 400 women who were randomly selected from those referring to Alzahra Hospital (Tabriz, Iran) during their third trimester of pregnancy. Data was collected through a questionnaire whose reliability and validity have been approved. The data was analyzed by chi-square test in SPSS13.Results: The results showed that while 28 and 26 women implemented screening tests during the first and second trimesters, respectively, only 5 subjects benefited from both (integrated test). Chi-square test showed significant correlations between the implementation of screening methods and age, education level, income, and the location of prenatal care (p<0.05).Conclusion: The findings of the present study showed women to poorly implement Down syndrome screening methods. Therefore, the necessity of providing appropriate educational programs for health staff and mothers seems undeniable. Moreover, paying attention to the related factors such as income, educational level, and adequate training of mothers during pregnancy is essential.
