Obstetricians’ recognition and attitudes towards guidelines for managing group B Streptococcus-positivepregnant women in Japanese maternity homes: A nationwide study

Although the relatively low response rate may limit the generalizability of the findings, we determined that obstetricians' limited recognition of the JMA guidelines may hinder effective interprofessional collaboration in maternity homes. Promoting mutual understanding through interprofessional education and establishing standardized clinical protocols for GBS-related care are essential to improve continuity and safety in maternal and neonatal care in Japan.
