to describe midwives' experiences with, and perceptions of, women with fear of childbirth.
a qualitative study with a phenomenographic approach. Data were collected by means of interviews in focus groups.
four focus groups at four types of hospital in Southern Sweden over a period of 18 months, 2004-2006.
21 experienced midwives.
four description categories emerged, i.e. appearance of fear of childbirth, origins of fear of childbirth, consequences of fear of childbirth, and fear of childbirth and midwifery care.
fear of childbirth is seen as a continuum from normal to irrational, severe fear. It has various origins which are more or less difficult to operationalise. Fear of childbirth influences the experience of pregnancy, the labour process and the transition to parenthood. Midwifery care of women with fear of childbirth is emotionally demanding and time consuming. Aspects of care required early identification of women with fear of childbirth, individual care, preparation for giving birth, support of a companion during labour, and postpartum follow-up.
描述助产士对分娩恐惧妇女的体验和看法。
采用现象学方法的定性研究。数据通过焦点小组访谈收集。
2004-2006 年,瑞典南部 4 家医院的 4 个焦点小组。
21 名有经验的助产士。
出现了 4 个描述类别,即分娩恐惧的表现、分娩恐惧的起源、分娩恐惧的后果以及分娩恐惧和助产护理。
分娩恐惧被视为从正常到非理性、严重恐惧的连续体。它有各种或多或少难以操作的起源。分娩恐惧会影响怀孕体验、分娩过程和向父母身份的过渡。对分娩恐惧妇女的助产护理在情感上要求高且耗费时间。护理要求包括早期识别有分娩恐惧的妇女、个性化护理、分娩准备、分娩时伴侣的支持以及产后随访。
