This study investigated pre- and postpartum attitudes toward self, spouse, and the ideal of 47 primiparous couples who chose the psychoprophylactic (Lamaze) method of childbirth, 34 who were able to share the delivery as planned (Y/Y) and 13 who were blocked from doing so because of complications, necessitating cesarean section (Y/N). Osgood Semantic Differential ratings revealed that both Y/N men and women perceived self- and various ideal concepts lower pre- and postnatally than did Y/Y subjects. Both groups of women showed statistically significant increases pre-post in activity for several concepts, and Y/N women also showed increases in potency for the ideal woman. Y/N husbands showed no statistically significant pre-post gains, while Y/Y husbands widened a statistically significant gain pre-post on the activity dimension for self. Implications for nursing practice and for further research are discussed.
本研究调查了47对选择心理预防（拉玛泽）分娩法的初产妇夫妇在产前和产后对自我、配偶及理想状态的态度。其中34对能够按计划共同参与分娩过程（Y/Y组），13对因并发症不得不进行剖宫产而无法共同参与分娩过程（Y/N组）。语义差异量表评分显示，与Y/Y组受试者相比，Y/N组的男性和女性在产前和产后对自我及各种理想概念的认知均较低。两组女性在几个概念上的活力维度得分在产后均有统计学意义的增加，Y/N组女性在理想女性的力量维度上也有增加。Y/N组丈夫在产后没有统计学意义的增加，而Y/Y组丈夫在自我的活力维度上产后有统计学意义的增加。文中讨论了该研究对护理实践和进一步研究的启示。
