dc.description.abstractThis study sought to determine the perceptions that currently exist amongst pregnant women towards homoeopathy, in light of the fact that drug use during pregnancy is limited. This study aimed at identifying myths and misconceptions that currently exist towards homoeopathy by looking at the attitudes and perceptions held by this target group. This information can be used to develop future homoeopathic education initiatives for this target group. This study was carried out using the survey method with a questionnaire as the measurement tool. The 'Perceptions in Pregnancy' questionnaire was adapted from Moys (1996), and administered to pregnant adults attending private antenatal facilities. The questionnaire was divided into three sections: A) Demographic data; B) Knowledge and attitudes towards homoeopathy; C) Previous health care experience. This sample was obtained from private antenatal facilities through convenience sampling. Antenatal class instructors within the greater Durban area were approached and briefed about the study. Willing instructors were asked to sign a 'Letter of Permission' (see Appendix A) agreeing to allow the study to be conducted within their classes. Instructors were asked to hand out copies of the 'Participant Information Letter' (see Appendix B) within the class informing potential candidates of the study. Subjects willing to participate were then given a copy ofen_US
