In the last few years, there has been an important decrease in parents' interest and participation in prenatal classes in Canada and elsewhere in the world. Partial results were obtained on parenting couples' participation in and satisfaction with prenatal classes, from a larger study involving 103 francophone couples living in Ottawa, using'a mixed methods descriptive and longitudinal research design. This article aims to present the reasons why parents do not participate in prenatal classes and their suggestions to improve them. Several parents indicated that subjects such as pain management, birthing with a midwife, labor support from a doula, breastfeeding, and postnatal sexuality should be added to the classes. Also, they would like to have more flexible hours, more interaction during the classes, more emphasis given to expectant fathers, more access to a variety of resources and content and teaching methods that are more dynamically delivered. These research findings will provide recommendations for the delivery of prenatal education, for nurses' training in this domain, and for future research.
在过去几年中，加拿大及世界其他地方的父母对产前课程的兴趣和参与度显著下降。在一项针对居住在渥太华的103对说法语夫妇的大型研究中，采用混合方法描述性和纵向研究设计，获得了有关育儿夫妇参与产前课程及对其满意度的部分结果。本文旨在阐述父母不参加产前课程的原因以及他们对改进课程的建议。几位家长表示，疼痛管理、由助产士接生、导乐分娩支持、母乳喂养和产后性行为等主题应纳入课程。此外，他们希望上课时间更灵活，课堂上有更多互动，更重视准父亲，能更多地获取各种资源以及更有活力的授课方式和内容。这些研究结果将为产前教育的开展、该领域护士的培训以及未来研究提供建议。
