Women often report being dissatisfied with their childbirth experience, which in turn predicts negative outcomes for themselves and their children. Currently, there is no consensus as to what constitutes a satisfying or positive birth experience. We posit that a useful framework for addressing this question already exists in the form of Basic Psychological Needs Theory, a subtheory of Self-Determination Theory (Deci & Ryan, Can. Psychol., 49, 2008, 182). Specifically, we argue that the degree to which maternity care practitioners support or frustrate women's needs for relatedness, competence, and autonomy predicts their childbirth satisfaction. Using this framework provides a potentially powerful lens to better understand and improve the well-being of new mothers and their infants.
女性常常表示对自己的分娩经历不满意，而这反过来又预示着对她们自身以及孩子会产生负面结果。目前，对于怎样的分娩经历才算是令人满意或积极的，尚无定论。我们认为，解决这个问题的一个有用框架已经以基本心理需求理论的形式存在，该理论是自我决定理论的一个子理论（德西和瑞安，《加拿大心理学》，第49卷，2008年，第182页）。具体而言，我们认为产科护理从业者满足或阻碍女性在人际关系、能力和自主性方面需求的程度，预示着她们的分娩满意度。运用这个框架能提供一个潜在的有力视角，以更好地理解并改善初为人母者及其婴儿的幸福感。
