This master s thesis proposes an in-depth investigation into the impact of
using physical models of fetal hearts, both healthy and with congenital heart defects,
on the understanding of complex diagnoses in fetal development and potential heart
conditions, especially during the prenatal period. Considering the importance of the
mother-fetus relationship for the emotional well-being of both, the study aims to
understand how these three-dimensional representations and models of fetal hearts
can significantly contribute, as supportive material, to alleviating doubts regarding
anomalies, childbirth, and the postpartum period, aiming for differentiated clinical
practices in prenatal programs, enhancing physician-patient relationship and
communication. In this context, the role of design in shaping these representations
is emphasized, as meticulous selection of visual elements can maximize the
effectiveness of images and models. The research seeks to enhance the overall
experience of pregnant women during gestation. The proposed Partnership Design
methodology adopted throughout the research is based on close collaboration with
specialists in obstetrics, cardiology, psychology, and related fields, ensuring
approaches aligned with best practices in healthcare and enriching the interpretation
of
results through specialized knowledge. This multidisciplinary and
interdisciplinary approach strengthens the validity and relevance of the study,
providing a comprehensive and grounded insight into the effective understanding
and promotion of medical-patient and maternal-fetal bonding in various contexts.
Throughout the monitoring of pregnant women, 3D physical models of both healthy
and congenitally diseased fetal hearts were printed and provided as supportive
material to clarify fetal cardiac health conditions to pregnant women, offering
emotional support and family education. The models provided a visual and tactile
experience, allowing pregnant women to have a tangible understanding of the fetal
heart conditions. The use of these printed models aimed to enhance understanding
and engagement in the process, enabling a deeper connection with fetal
development and cardiac health, and facilitating subsequent decision-making
involving necessary medical procedures. Questionnaires were administered to study
participants to gather sociodemographic and gestational history data, as well as
perceptions following exposure to the 3D physical models, which may indicate
future developments for the research.
