In this sense, assessing the knowledge acquired by parents in pregnancy surveillance is of great importance. Since there are no studies on the subject in the period before the pandemic, we will only assess the knowledge acquired by parents in pregnancy monitoring. (2) For this reason, the aim of our study is to evaluate the knowledge acquired by parents in pregnancy surveillance. (3) This study is descriptive, cross-sectional and quantitative in nature, with a sample of 196 couples. A questionnaire was administered about the knowledge acquired by parents in pregnancy surveillance nursing consultations. (4) Pregnant mothers and their partners reported having some knowledge. The classification was assessed using a questionnaire with quantifiable response options from 1 to 5 points. Items with a score of 1 indicate a low level of knowledge and 5 indicates a higher level of knowledge. (5) We can verify that the level of knowledge acquired by the pregnant mother during the pregnancy surveillance nursing consultation is higher than the level of knowledge acquired by the father during the same consultation. Most parents consider it important to receive information through the pregnancy surveillance nursing consultations carried out by Maternal and Obstetric Health Nurse Specialists (midwives).<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph21080967","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,25]],"date-time":"2024-07-25T06:11:36Z","timestamp":1721887896000},"page":"967","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["The Knowledge Acquired by Parents in Pregnancy Monitoring Consultations"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5599-663X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Raquel","family":"Cerdeira","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Hospital CUF Descobertas, 1998-018 Lisboa, Portugal"},{"name":"Unidade Local de Sa\u00fade de Almada-Seixal, 2805-267 Almada, Portugal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2899-8768","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ot\u00edlia","family":"Zang\u00e3o","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nursing, Higher School of Nursing, University of \u00c9vora, 7000-811 \u00c9vora, Portugal"},{"name":"CHRC\u2014Comprehensive Health Research Centre, NOVA Medical School, University of \u00c9vora, 1150-082 Lisboa, Portugal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"WHO\u2014World Health Organization (2024, January 15).
