An understanding of autonomy has important significance in North American health care. Although a respect for autonomy is necessary to protect the self-determination and agency of birthing women in hospital settings, I suggest that enactments of autonomy that are independent of relationships offer only an incomplete interpretation of such a vital concept. In this article I explore an understanding of autonomy situated within the context of a relational birthing narrative. In so doing, autonomy becomes conceptualized as contextual and concrete, giving rise to an embodied view of the birthing woman.
在北美医疗保健领域，对自主性的理解具有重要意义。尽管尊重自主性对于保护分娩女性在医院环境中的自决权和自主权是必要的，但我认为，脱离关系的自主性表现仅提供了对这一重要概念的不完整诠释。在本文中，我探讨了一种在关系性分娩叙事背景下对自主性的理解。这样一来，自主性被概念化为情境化和具体的，从而产生了一种关于分娩女性的具身化观点。
