abstract: A great number of premature deliveries is one of the main problems in present-day perinatology. Although the ability of premature babies to survive has increased, they are vulnerable to many complications. Statistical data showed that the grade of premature deliveries and related complications in Silesian region is one of the highest in our country. Therefore, it is necessary to offer the intensive and systematic health care for pregnant women and establish the prophylactic programme for premature deliveries. The aim of this article is to evaluate the level of knowledge, skills and motivation to follow the prophylaxis directions among pregnant women.
