Einführung der Gruppenschwangerschaftsbetreuung in Deutschland

In Deutschland laufen Pilotprojekte sehr erfolgreich an – international ist die Schwangerenvorsorge in Gruppen bereits weit verbreitet. Die Autorinnen beleuchten die Vorteile der Gruppenbetreuung, blicken auf vorliegende Evidenz und aktuelle Forschungsvorhaben und fassen die Perspektiven des Modells für die Zukunft zusammen. Hebammen sind eingeladen, sich zu diesem Thema global zu vernetzen.
