Black feminist theory in maternal health research: A review of concepts and future directions

Mia Brantley

Summary: Black maternal health and well-being is an important focus for health researchers due to higher rates of maternal mortality and morbidity among Black women. This article argues for the integration of Black Feminist Theory into maternal health research, which expands our understanding of the impact of various processes and mechanisms on the health and well-being of Black mothers. The importance of centering the research solely on Black women's experiences is emphasized, along with three specific concepts of Black Feminist Theory that contribute to this understanding.

This study explores the availability of mental health (MH) services and resources in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for Black mothers with preterm infants. The findings indicate a lack of prioritization of MH care in the NICU, with few mothers receiving MH services or resources.

Medical Mistrust in Perinatal Mental Health

Nkechi Conteh et al.

Summary: Despite advancements in telemedicine and treatment, minoritized women continue to experience a disproportionate burden of pregnancy-related psychiatric conditions and complications. Medical mistrust and systemic racism are significant factors contributing to underutilization of services by racially and ethnically diverse women during pregnancy and postpartum. Understanding the drivers of medical mistrust in perinatal healthcare systems is essential to address these disparities.

Kimberly B. Glazer et al.

Summary: Mothers of babies who required a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) stay had positive evaluations of their obstetric and neonatal care, but some reported poorer communication and responsiveness towards Black and Latina mothers.
