Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: ABSTRACT Objective: Analyze the social determinants of health among pregnant women in riverside communities who receive routine prenatal care and identify those that influence maternal health. Method: A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted from January to April 2024 in the Basic Health Units of Cotijuba Island and Combú Island, Belém, Pará, Brazil, with 32 pregnant women living in riverside communities, at habitual risk, undergoing prenatal care. Data was obtained through interviews, using a questionnaire based on the social determinants of health model, and analyzed using inferential statistics. Results: Significant social determinants are related to social and community networks and environmental conditions, with an association between previous health problems and religion (p=0.021), marital status (p<0.001), and water supply (p=0.042). Conclusion: Determinants related to social and community networks and the environmental context concern previous health problems of pregnant women and should be considered when adopting strategic measures to ensure effective prenatal care.
