Qualitative study exploring the barriers and facilitators to low-dose aspirin adherence in pregnant women with placental dysfunction risk in the UK.
We identified motivational and implementation-related barriers and facilitators to LDA adherence in a clinical sample of women with placental dysfunction risk. Women require more information to enhance understanding and inform their decision, and require support to establish effective habits. Theory-informed behaviour change techniques could address these barriers. Adherence barriers and facilitators should be explored in minority ethnicity and economically deprived women, and healthcare staff providing LDA-related care to inform optimally effective interventions.
