Thirty-seven couples expecting their first child served as subjects in an open-ended interview and questionnaire study concerning fathers' motives for birth attendance. Both interview and questionnaire data confirm the fact that motives, beliefs, and expectations concerning paternal participation in labor and delivery are widely distributed across a variety of social contexts. Results indicate that fathers have multiple motives for and expectations about birth attendance. Implications for childbirth educators, health care providers, and parent support leaders are discussed.
37对即将迎来第一个孩子的夫妇参与了一项关于父亲陪产动机的开放式访谈和问卷调查研究。访谈和问卷调查数据均证实，在各种社会背景下，关于父亲参与分娩过程的动机、信念和期望广泛存在。结果表明，父亲们陪产有多种动机和期望。文中还讨论了对分娩教育者、医疗服务提供者和家长支持组织负责人的启示。
