Little has been studied about pregnant women's perceptions of their nurse's role during labor and delivery. The objective of this study was to determine nulliparous pregnant women's expectations of their nurse's role during labor and delivery as expressed during the last trimester of pregnancy.
Nulliparous women in childbirth classes were asked on a questionnaire, "What do you think your nurse's role will be during labor and delivery? You may list as many things as you wish."
Fifty-seven completed surveys were collected. The women listed a total of 174 items. Approximately 29 percent of the nursing tasks listed by the nulliparous women were related to providing them with physical comfort and emotional support, 24 percent related to providing informational support, almost 21 percent were related to providing technical nursing care, and 21 percent related to monitoring of the baby, mother, or labor progress; approximately 5 percent related to indirect care (outside the room).
The expectations of women in our study were in contrast with findings from two previous work sampling studies, in which nurses provided much less time giving women physical comfort, emotional support, and informational support than would have been expected by women in our study. Fulfilling women's expectations about childbirth can increase women's satisfaction with their birth experiences. Further studies can help maternity caregivers learn more about women's expectations.
关于孕妇对护士在分娩过程中角色的认知，此前研究较少。本研究的目的是确定初产妇在妊娠晚期所表达的对护士在分娩过程中角色的期望。
向参加分娩课程的初产妇发放问卷，询问“你认为护士在分娩过程中的角色是什么？你可以列出尽可能多的内容。”
共收集到57份完整问卷。这些女性共列出174项内容。初产妇列出的护理任务中，约29%与为她们提供身体舒适和情感支持有关，24%与提供信息支持有关，近21%与提供技术护理有关，21%与监测胎儿、母亲或产程进展有关；约5%与间接护理（病房外）有关。
我们研究中女性的期望与之前两项工作抽样研究的结果形成对比，在那两项研究中，护士给予女性身体舒适、情感支持和信息支持的时间比我们研究中的女性预期的要少得多。满足女性对分娩的期望可以提高她们对分娩经历的满意度。进一步的研究可以帮助产科护理人员更多地了解女性的期望。
