Primigravid women, at some point, feel the need to gain education about childbirth. Our objective was to identify where primigravid millennial moms are seeking their childbirth education. This study, a quantitative nonexperimental survey research, was designed within the context of developmental transition theory. Childbearing women were recruited, considering the phenomenon to be studied. This purposive sample of 100 participants included primigravid millennial mothers (born between 1978 and 1994), status post vaginal birth, or emergent cesarean surgery, on a 455-bed, acute care facility. All participants were able to speak, understand, and read English or Spanish fluently. The author used a self-report survey to collect data from the participants. Primigravid women responded to a series of questions posed by the investigator. Considering the participants' variety of reading levels and their ability to communicate in writing, special attention was given to the simplicity and clarity of the questions on the survey. The responses provided by the participants suggested the need to enhance current childbirth education into culturally friendly and evidence-based technological information. Websites, apps, and social media are important information channels to reach and disseminate valuable childbirth education for millennial primigravid women. However, these channels are not currently being used to their full potential, considering the amount of information available and lack of guidance and clarity to disseminate trustworthy health-care information. By understanding millennial moms' choices, we gain the opportunity to deliver better education and support to Internet savvy women who are seeking online health-care information.
初产妇在某个阶段会觉得有必要接受有关分娩的教育。我们的目标是确定初产千禧一代妈妈们在哪里寻求分娩教育。本研究是一项定量非实验性调查研究，是在发展过渡理论的背景下设计的。考虑到要研究的现象，招募了育龄妇女。这个由100名参与者组成的目的样本包括初产千禧一代母亲（出生于1978年至1994年之间），她们在一家拥有455张床位的急症护理机构中经历了阴道分娩或紧急剖宫产手术。所有参与者都能流利地说、理解和阅读英语或西班牙语。作者使用自我报告调查从参与者那里收集数据。初产妇回答了研究者提出的一系列问题。考虑到参与者的阅读水平各异以及他们的书面沟通能力，特别注意了调查问卷问题的简单性和清晰度。参与者提供的回答表明，有必要将当前的分娩教育提升为文化友好型和基于证据的技术信息。网站、应用程序和社交媒体是为千禧初产女性提供和传播有价值的分娩教育的重要信息渠道。然而，考虑到可用信息量以及缺乏传播可靠医疗保健信息的指导和清晰度，这些渠道目前尚未得到充分利用。通过了解千禧一代妈妈的选择，我们有机会为寻求在线医疗保健信息的精通互联网的女性提供更好的教育和支持。
