The aim of this study was to illuminate mothers' fear of childbirth and their experiences of the team-midwifery care model during pregnancy, childbirth and the postnatal period.
Maternal anxiety and fear of childbirth lead to emotional suffering and affected women's well-being. A previous negative experience of childbirth may result in postnatal depression or avoidance of future pregnancies.
This hermeneutic study comprised interviews with 13 women, which were audio-taped and transcribed verbatim, after which interpretative content analysis was performed. Ethical approval was granted.
The findings revealed one main theme: The woman's right to ownership of the pregnancy, childbirth and postnatal care as a means of maintaining dignity and three themes; Being aware of barriers and reasons for fear; Being prepared for childbirth and Being confirmed and treated with dignity by the midwife. Each theme contained several sub-themes.
The findings contribute insights into how midwives can be educated to reduce fear of childbirth and promote positive birth experiences, despite the existence of negative memories of previous births.
In order to achieve continuity and a trusting relationship it is necessary to organise leadership and to adopt models that are flexible and support women's health.
本研究旨在阐明产妇对分娩的恐惧及其在妊娠、分娩和产后期间对团队助产护理模式的体验。
产妇的焦虑和对分娩的恐惧会导致情绪痛苦，并影响女性的幸福感。之前对分娩的负面体验可能会导致产后抑郁或避免未来怀孕。
这是一项阐释性研究，包括对 13 名妇女的访谈，访谈内容进行了录音并逐字转录，然后进行了解释性内容分析。本研究获得了伦理批准。
研究结果揭示了一个主要主题：妇女有权拥有妊娠、分娩和产后护理，这是维护尊严的一种方式，还有三个主题：意识到障碍和恐惧的原因；为分娩做准备；并得到助产士的确认和有尊严的对待。每个主题都包含几个副标题。
研究结果为助产士如何接受教育以减少对分娩的恐惧并促进积极的分娩体验提供了一些见解，尽管存在对以前分娩的负面记忆。
为了实现连续性和信任关系，有必要组织领导力，并采用灵活的模式来支持妇女的健康。
