Risk factors during pregnancy and delivery of immigrant women are analysed. Individual birth delivery records of 1 235 immigrant women and of 412 Swedish women are studied. Most of the immigrants--65%--were Scandinavians, while 10% had come from Southern Europe and 4% were non-Europeans. The immigrant groups differed somewhat amongst themselves, and also vis-à-vis the Swedes in some social and demographic respects. Participation in antenatal care was not lower among the immigrants than in the control group, but the former did not attend antenatal exercises to the same extent. The perinatal mortality and prematurity rates were 1.5% and 5%--about the same as among the Swedish women. The rate of premature delivery was found to be related to the duration of residence in Sweden. Women who had lived less than one year in this country more often delivered prematurely than did the more settled immigrant women. Further studies on the emotional reactions of immigrant women during pregnancy and delivery are proposed.
对移民妇女怀孕和分娩期间的风险因素进行了分析。研究了1235名移民妇女和412名瑞典妇女的个人分娩记录。大多数移民——65%——是斯堪的纳维亚人，而10%来自南欧，4%是非欧洲人。移民群体之间以及在一些社会和人口统计学方面与瑞典人之间存在一定差异。移民参与产前护理的比例并不低于对照组，但前者参加产前锻炼的程度不如后者。围产期死亡率和早产率分别为1.5%和5%——与瑞典妇女的情况大致相同。发现早产率与在瑞典的居住时间有关。在该国居住不到一年的妇女比定居时间更长的移民妇女更常早产。建议对移民妇女在怀孕和分娩期间的情绪反应进行进一步研究。
