TI  - Knowledge and attitude changes of pregnant women regarding prenatal screening and 
      diagnostic tests after counselling.
PG  - 48-55
AB  - OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to reveal the knowledge level of pregnant women 
      about prenatal diagnostic tests, Down syndrome (DS) and amniocentesis, their 
      attitudes toward uptaking these tests, undergoing amniocentesis, and the 
      termination of pregnancy. It also aimed to evaluate the effects of providing 
      information, as well as a written information brochure about all the issues 
      concerning women's knowledge and attitudes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The 
      gynecologists provided verbal and written information on prenatal screening tests 
      (PSTs) and invasive prenatal diagnostic tests. Data were collected using an 
      anonymous questionnaire, which was designed by the researchers on the basis of 
      the literature. RESULTS: Knowledge of both DS and amniocentesis was found to be 
      significantly higher after the education (p = 0.000 and p = 0.000, respectively). 
      Attitudes toward amniocentesis changed significantly after the education. 
      CONCLUSIONS: This study has shown that women had an inadequate knowledge about 
      PSTs, DS, and amniocentesis. It has also revealed that education provided by 
      gynecologists along with a written brochure of information tended to increase 
      women's knowledge about PSTs.
