The purpose of this study was to assess both the current use of relief measures for nausea and vomiting of pregnancy among clinicians and the basis for their decisions regarding method of treatment With the permission of conference sponsors, questionnaires on nausea and vomiting of pregnancy relief measures were distributed at a national conference for obstetrical health care providers. Of the 600 conference participants, 130 completed questionnaires. The findings of the study indicate that clinicians generally recommend eating small, frequent meals; that clinicians modify their recommendations slightly based on the severity of the symptoms; that clinicians perceive varying degrees of effectiveness of relief measures, with no one measure being totally effective: and that clinicians look to patients as the primary resource for information about nausea and vomiting of pregnancy.
