A lifeworld hermeneutic approach was used in order to understand Swedish women's thoughts on childbearing. Nine women were interviewed, and they ranged in age from 22 to 28 years and represented diverse socioeconomic, educational, sexual, and fertility backgrounds. All women were similar in that they lacked experience of giving birth and parenthood. The analysis showed that childbearing includes dimensions of both immanence and transcendence. Immanence, as childbearing is seen as stagnant to women's freedom in present life. Transcendence, as childbearing is thought of as a project for future life, a part of female identity, and a conscious standpoint for which the woman wants to be prepared and for which she wants to create the best conditions.
为了理解瑞典女性的生育观念,采用了生活世界诠释学方法。共采访了 9 名年龄在 22 至 28 岁之间的女性,她们代表了不同的社会经济、教育、性别和生育背景。所有女性的共同点是缺乏生育和为人父母的经验。分析表明,生育包括内在和超越两个方面。内在方面,生育被视为对女性当前生活自由的限制。超越方面,生育被视为对未来生活的规划,是女性身份的一部分,也是一种自觉的立场,女性希望为此做好准备,并创造最佳条件。
