Satisfaction in childbirth is influenced by individual and environmental factors. Of specific interest in this study is the extent to which women feel that they have been able to control what happened to them during labour. The main purpose of this study was to examine the influence of personal control on women's satisfaction with pain relief during labour. A questionnaire-based retrospective study of women's pain experiences within 48 hours of delivery was carried out on the postnatal ward of one teaching hospital in Northern Ireland. One hundred women who had had a vaginal delivery consented to take part in the study. Two main measures were used in the study; personal control in and satisfaction with pain relief during labour. The key finding of this study indicates that feelings of personal control influenced positively the women's satisfaction with pain relief during labour. Demographic and other psycho-social variables had little impact on the women's satisfaction scores. These findings have implications for clinical practice and for the management of maternity services and are discussed.
分娩满意度受个体和环境因素影响。本研究特别感兴趣的是女性认为自己在分娩过程中能够掌控所发生事情的程度。本研究的主要目的是考察个人掌控感对女性分娩时疼痛缓解满意度的影响。在北爱尔兰一家教学医院的产后病房，对分娩后48小时内女性的疼痛经历进行了一项基于问卷调查的回顾性研究。100名经阴道分娩的女性同意参与研究。该研究采用了两项主要指标：分娩时的个人掌控感和对疼痛缓解的满意度。本研究的关键发现表明，个人掌控感对女性分娩时疼痛缓解的满意度有积极影响。人口统计学和其他心理社会变量对女性的满意度得分影响不大。这些发现对临床实践和产科服务管理具有启示意义，并将进行讨论。
