Abstract
This study was performed to investigate changes in prenatal and delivery characteristics of married immigrant women and to provide basic data for developing maternal health care programs. Data collection was carried out for 6 weeks from September 7, 2016 through medical records, and it was divided into 5-year intervals (5 years before and after 2011 were compared). The survey records consisted of demographic, prenatal, and obstetrics characteristics, and the data were analyzed by frequency, percentage, Independent Sample T-test, and Chi-square test using the SPSS 23.0 program. The results were as follows. The prenatal and delivery characteristics of married immigrant women showed significantly increased inadequate weight gain during pregnancy, pregnancy complications, premature birth, low birth weight infants, and low apgar score. Therefore, based on these changes in married immigrant women, prenatal and postnatal health care programs are needed to prevent maternal and childbirth complications.
