Abstract
  • High-risk pregnancy is a growing concern in the United States resulting in complications in both the mother and the fetus. At IU Health Riley Hospital, the maternity tower was built in 2022, to provide medical care to patients with high-risk pregnancies, staffing maternal fetal medicine (MFM) doctors, obstetric certified registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists, social work, and more, to help provide the highest-grade medical care possible. Nurses in the maternity tower stated that most patients struggle with their mental health, during their prolonged hospital admissions. Currently, occupational therapists are treating antepartum patients with limited research backing their interventions. A survey was given to a total of 14 patients, resulting in 14/14 patients feeling worried, anxious, or on edge and having trouble finding activities meaningful to them. The purpose of this project is to identify a patient’s needs through the lens of occupational therapy, providing an intervention binder to help guide sessions, and creating a handout for carpal tunnel syndrome, following a patient case study.
