Introduction: neonatal screening is a laboratory test used worldwide for the detection of pathologies or metabolic deficits before the disease manifests itself, but of which there is little knowledge in pregnant women.
Objective: to determine the level of knowledge that pregnant women have about the Neonatal Metabolic Screening test.
Methods: this was a quantitative, descriptive, and cross-sectional research, developed in a public health institution in the province of Cotopaxi with a sample of 200 women. Data collection was carried out through a survey that allowed classifying knowledge into high, medium, and low.
Results: the highest percentage of pregnant women was in the medium level of knowledge (44 %), a considerable percentage of pregnant women was presented in a low level (43,5 %) and in a lower proportion a high level (12,5 %). The highest ratio of low knowledge was observed in the youngest pregnant women (15 to 20 years old) and the oldest (over 43 years old), as well as in those with primary and secondary education.
Conclusion: the level of knowledge that pregnant women has about neonatal metabolic screening on the general knowledge dimension of the test and the medical procedure, was medium in those aged between 21 and 42 years and low in those between 15 and 20 years., as well as in those aged 43 and over. This shows that there is a lack of knowledge about the test in pregnant women attending this health unit
