The aim of this study was to explore the motivations of pregnant women in participating in an ultrasound study and the acceptability of vaginal ultrasound examinations.
A prospective sample of 270 women were asked one question: "Can you tell me what motivated you to participate in the study?" The data were then analyzed through a qualitative thematic analysis with an inductive approach. In addition to the thematic analysis, quantification of the data was performed to enhance the qualitative result.
Through the thematic analysis, 5 themes emerged from the responses of the participants: altruism, research, personal experience, personal benefit, and finding out. All responses were relatively short, and some responses included more than one theme.
Vaginal ultrasound examinations were acceptable to the participants, and pregnant women had many motivations to participate. Regardless of race, ethnicity, or insurance status, the women in our study were altruistic and curious about our research.
本研究旨在探讨孕妇参与超声研究的动机以及阴道超声检查的可接受性。
前瞻性选取270名女性,询问她们一个问题:“你能告诉我是什么促使你参与这项研究吗?”然后采用归纳法通过定性主题分析对数据进行分析。除了主题分析外,还对数据进行了量化以强化定性结果。
通过主题分析,从参与者的回答中浮现出5个主题:利他主义、研究、个人经历、个人利益和了解情况。所有回答都相对简短,有些回答包含不止一个主题。
参与者可接受阴道超声检查,孕妇有多种参与动机。无论种族、民族或保险状况如何,我们研究中的女性都具有利他主义精神且对我们的研究充满好奇。
