This paper considers the dwelling space of postnatal care, how being-there feels for the woman going through the experience of matrescence. The research takes a hermeneutic approach and draws on philosophical notions from Heidegger.
'What is the nature of the dwelling space of valued postnatal care?'.
Appropriate ethics approval was gained. Participants were midwives, nurses, women, and other relevant stakeholders. There were 4 focus groups involving 11 participants and 19 individual interviews. Data collection was conducted over a one week period by a team of three researchers. An interview schedule had been organised by the administrator at the Centre. Participants chose whether to come to the centre to be interviewed, or be interviewed in their own homes. Most interviews were an hour. All interviews were tape recorded and transcribed, with the participant's permission. Data was analysed through a hermeneutic process set in the context of related literature.
When women are invited into a dwelling space that strengthens them they feel 'mothered': being listened to, have their needs anticipated, and are cared for in a loving manner. In such a way they grow confidence. A child health nurse reported the difference such care made to on-going mothering at home.
All women deserve a dwelling space in their early days of matrescence. Small birthing centres perhaps achieve such care and ambience more easily than large institutional units. Nevertheless, wherever the place, practices need to be enabled that foster the spirit of dwelling.
本文探讨了产后护理的居住空间，即女性在经历母性体验时的在场感受。本研究采用解释学方法，并借鉴了海德格尔的哲学概念。
“有价值的产后护理的居住空间的本质是什么？”
获得了适当的伦理批准。参与者包括助产士、护士、妇女和其他相关利益攸关方。共进行了 4 次焦点小组讨论，涉及 11 名参与者和 19 次单独访谈。数据收集由 3 名研究人员组成的团队在一周内完成。管理员在中心组织了访谈计划。参与者可以选择来中心接受访谈，也可以选择在自己家中接受访谈。大多数访谈时长为一小时。所有访谈都经过参与者的许可进行录音和转录。数据通过解释学过程进行分析，该过程设置在相关文献的背景下。
当女性被邀请进入一个能够增强她们力量的居住空间时，她们会感到“被呵护”：被倾听，需求得到预见，并以关爱的方式得到照顾。通过这种方式，她们会增强信心。一名儿童健康护士报告了这种护理对在家中持续育儿的影响。
所有女性在母性体验的早期都应该有一个居住空间。小型分娩中心可能比大型机构更容易实现这种护理和氛围。然而，无论在何处，都需要实施实践，以培养居住的精神。
