The aim of this qualitative study was to explore the perception of women regarding long-term effects of childbirth education on future health-care decision making. This qualitative study used a purposive sample of 10 women who participated in facilitated focus groups. Analysis of focus group narratives provided themes in order of prevalence: (a) self-advocacy, (b) new skills, (c) anticipatory guidance, (d) control, (e) informed consent, and (f) trust. This small exploratory study does not answer the question of whether childbirth education influences future health-care decision making, but it demonstrates that the themes and issues from participants who delivered 15-30 years ago were comparable to current findings in the literature.
这项定性研究的目的是探讨女性对分娩教育对未来医疗保健决策的长期影响的看法。这项定性研究采用了有目的抽样，选取了10名参与焦点小组讨论的女性。对焦点小组讨论记录的分析得出了按出现频率排序的主题：（a）自我主张，（b）新技能，（c）预期指导，（d）控制，（e）知情同意，以及（f）信任。这项小型探索性研究并未回答分娩教育是否会影响未来医疗保健决策这一问题，但它表明，15至30年前分娩的参与者提出的主题和问题与当前文献中的研究结果相当。
