- Abstract
The objective of this study was to understand the central meaning of the experience of providing CenteringPregnancy for perinatal educators who were facilitators for the group sessions. Four perinatal educators participated in one-on-one interviews and/or a validation focus group. Six themes emerged: (a) "stepping back and taking on a different role," (b) "supporting transformation," (c) "getting to knowing," (d) "working together to bridge the gap," (e) "creating the environment," and (f) "fostering community." These themes contributed to the core phenomenon of being "invested in success." Through bridging gaps and inconsistencies in information received from educators and physicians, this model of CenteringPregnancy provides an opportunity for women to act on relevant information more fully than more traditional didactic approaches to perinatal education.
