ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at whether allowing pregnant women to choose their own visual art to display in their hospital room can improve their overall experience and satisfaction while they are being cared for in the antepartum unit. The goal is to see if having personalized art makes patients feel more comfortable and happier during their hospital stay compared to standard care, where art is not chosen by the patients.

To participate in this study, women must be at least 18 years old, currently pregnant, and admitted to the antepartum unit at the hospital for care. They also need to be able to understand and fill out a consent form and a questionnaire in English. If you join the study, you'll get to select artwork that resonates with you, and researchers will ask you about your experience to help improve care for future patients. Your feedback will be valuable in understanding how art can impact hospital stays for pregnant women.
