The purpose of this study was to explore college students' beliefs about childbirth and midwifery.
A critical qualitative analysis was used to identify common themes that occurred in an online class discussion about midwifery.
This population of 459 college students drew on the larger social discourse of the medical model of childbirth to frame their discussion of childbirth and midwives. Common beliefs that emerged from class discussions included the perceived dangerous nature of childbirth, the necessity for technologic interventions in childbirth, and doubts about the quality of midwifery training and practice.
To promote midwifery among this population, advocates should continue public education efforts through a variety of media and communication strategies, with an emphasis on the safety of midwifery care.
本研究旨在探讨大学生对分娩和助产士的信念。
采用批判性定性分析，以确定在线课堂讨论中关于助产士的常见主题。
这 459 名大学生群体借鉴了更大的分娩医学模式的社会话语，来构建他们对分娩和助产士的讨论。课堂讨论中出现的常见信念包括分娩的危险性质、分娩时技术干预的必要性，以及对助产士培训和实践质量的怀疑。
为了在这一人群中推广助产士，倡导者应继续通过各种媒体和沟通策略进行公共教育，重点是助产士护理的安全性。
