Preeclampsia represents an important cause of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. The early identification of pregnant women at risk represents a priority in reducing preeclampsia complications. For a better evaluation of the importance of preeclampsia screening, a questionnaire was developed. Methods. The questionnaire based on 14 items was distributed online. The form was anonymously completed. All forms consisted of simple questions. Results. Data from 151 completed forms were collected and analyzed. The analysis revealed the importance of arterial pressure control. 15% of the responders needed hypertensive treatment in pregnancy. They were interested in completing the preeclampsia risk test (88%). Conclusions. The results suggested that preeclampsia screening and measurement of the atrial pressure may become a valuable tool for evaluating and for determining the diagnosis in question, but the possibility of emotional distress for the subjects at risk of developing the condition should be taken in consideration.
