To evaluate perinatal nursing care for Deaf women, we conducted a pilot, descriptive study exploring women's prenatal, labor, and postpartum experiences. We used the Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) framework to analyze women's responses and to explore implications for practice. Themes and women's stories are presented within the QSEN structure to promote informed and individualized perinatal nursing care for Deaf families. It is essential for nurses to stay abreast of resources and technological advances and to use culturally competent principles of communication. Nurses' knowledge of Deaf culture helps guide care, and their understanding of legal provisions and the Americans with Disabilities Act can lead to greater advocacy for Deaf women. Additional research is necessary to fill the current void in the literature about perinatal care for Deaf women.
