Lee S, et al. - In this study, researchers sought to determine the pregnancy-related risk perception among women and healthcare professionals, and what women and professionals think about each other’s risk perception. They conducted a cross-sectional survey of set in UK maternity services including doctors working in obstetrics (N = 53), midwives (N = 59), pregnant women (N = 68). The analysis revealed that pregnant women, doctors and midwives differ significantly in total risk scores in the perception of risk to the mother in 68/80 scenarios. Doctors rated risks lowest most frequently. No significant difference was observed in total scores for perceived risk to the baby. Substantial variation existed within each group. More agreement on the ranking of scenarios according to risk was observed. The groups thought that most risk is perceived by doctors whereas actually doctors rated risks lowest most frequently. Each group incorrectly assumed that their peers rated risk similarly to themselves. Based on the observations, they conclude that individuals cannot judge whether others share their perception of risk or they make correct assessments regarding others’ risk perception.
