The childbirth preferences and attitudes of young women prior to pregnancy (N = 758) were explored in a cross-sectional survey. Sources of influential childbirth information and self-reported childbirth learning needs were described. Young women's attitudes about childbirth, including the degree of confidence in coping with a vaginal birth, whether birth is considered a natural event, and expectations of labor pain were associated with their mode of birth preference. Conversations with friends and family were the most influential source of childbirth information. Gaps in knowledge about pregnancy and birth were identified. An improved understanding of women's preferences and attitudinal profiles can inform the structure and content of educational strategies that aim to help the next generation of maternity care consumers participate in informed decision making.
在一项横断面调查中，对758名未孕年轻女性的分娩偏好和态度进行了探究。描述了有影响力的分娩信息来源以及自我报告的分娩学习需求。年轻女性对分娩的态度，包括应对阴道分娩的信心程度、是否认为分娩是自然事件以及对产痛的预期，与她们的分娩方式偏好相关。与朋友和家人的交谈是最有影响力的分娩信息来源。发现了在怀孕和分娩知识方面的差距。更好地了解女性的偏好和态度概况可为旨在帮助下一代产妇护理消费者参与明智决策的教育策略的结构和内容提供参考。
