Abstract
Pregnant teens are known to be reserved about accessing prenatal health care. Lack of prenatal care may result in unfavorable pregnancy outcomes. The purpose of this article is to discuss the benefits of a group-oriented prenatal care model on pregnancy outcomes with Hispanic adolescents. This is conceptually framed by the CenteringPregnancy model. The social learning theory is implied in the CenteringPregnancy model. A comprehensive literature review was conducted using a variety of research journals. There are many benefits to group prenatal care when compared to one-on-one prenatal care. Advanced Practice Nurse Practitioners should incorporate this group prenatal care paradigm into professional practice in order to enhance the patient and health care provider partnership to improve perinatal outcomes.
