The aim of this study was to describe expectant mothers' and fathers' perceived needs of support during pregnancy. Twenty-two women and 10 men were interviewed in four focus groups and 13 individual interviews. Systematic text condensation was performed to analyze the data. Parents described not only a broad spectrum of social support needs but also needs of psychological and physical support. They also requested to share their experiences with others. The foci of care and parents' needs of support are more harmonized with medical support than with psychological and emotional support. Mothers' needs were predominately addressed in the health services, but fathers often felt "invisible." Antenatal services may need to offer more customized individual support and emphasize peer support in groups; the challenge is to involve both parents through communication and encouragement so they can support each other.
本研究的目的是描述准妈妈和准爸爸在孕期所感受到的支持需求。通过四个焦点小组和13次个人访谈,对22名女性和10名男性进行了访谈。采用系统文本浓缩法对数据进行分析。父母们不仅描述了广泛的社会支持需求,还提到了心理和身体支持需求。他们还要求与他人分享自己的经历。护理重点和父母的支持需求与医疗支持的协调性高于心理和情感支持。母亲的需求在卫生服务中得到了主要关注,但父亲们常常觉得自己“被忽视”。产前服务可能需要提供更多个性化的支持,并强调群体中的同伴支持;挑战在于通过沟通和鼓励让父母双方都参与进来,以便他们能够相互支持。
