Thirty pregnant women, their families and environment have been submitted to a prospective ethnographic study with inventory of childbearing behavior. The results were two-fold. They allowed on the one hand to reconstruct the traditional Korean birthing system. On the other they revealed an appalling amount of obstetrical pathology. Case examples permit to demonstrate the conflict between the modern and traditional birthing system and how this has adverse effects on the individual woman in the situation of uncontrolled cultural change.
30名孕妇及其家庭和生活环境接受了一项前瞻性人种学研究，并对生育行为进行了记录。研究结果有两方面。一方面，它们有助于重构传统的韩国分娩体系。另一方面，它们揭示了数量惊人的产科病理学问题。案例能够证明现代分娩体系与传统分娩体系之间的冲突，以及在文化变革不受控制的情况下，这种冲突如何对个体女性产生不利影响。
