This study compares the childbirth outcomes of women whose husbands were present during labour with those whose husbands were absent. A retrospective comparative design was used. Sixty-three Hong Kong Chinese primigravid mothers recruited from childbirth education classes were allocated to one of two groups: those whose husband attended labour (n = 45) and those whose husband was not in attendance (n = 18). Details of demographic characteristics, maternal history and antenatal attendance were obtained along with obstetric measures of maternal anxiety, pain perception, dosage of analgesia used, and length of labour. The results indicated that women whose husbands were present during labour used significantly higher dosage of analgesia than those whose husbands were absent. No significant differences were found between groups in other outcome measures. The researcher concluded that nurse-midwives in Hong Kong need to find ways to help husbands provide the type of support that may help their partners during labour.
本研究比较了分娩时丈夫在场的女性与丈夫不在场的女性的分娩结局。采用回顾性比较设计。从分娩教育课程中招募的63名中国香港初产妇被分为两组：丈夫陪产的产妇（n = 45）和丈夫未陪产的产妇（n = 18）。研究人员收集了产妇的人口统计学特征、孕产史、产前检查情况等详细信息，以及产妇焦虑、疼痛感知、镇痛药物使用剂量和产程时长等产科指标。结果表明，分娩时丈夫在场的女性使用的镇痛药物剂量显著高于丈夫不在场的女性。在其他结局指标上，两组之间未发现显著差异。研究人员得出结论，香港的助产士需要想办法帮助丈夫提供有助于其伴侣分娩的支持。
