The effect of the Lamaze method of childbirth on material adjustment and feelings of crisis experienced by new parents during the postpartum period was investigated utilizing a nonprobability sample of 20 married, primiparous couples. The experimental group consisted of 10 couples who attended Lamaze classes; the control group consisted of 10 couples who did not. The women were in the third trimester of pregnancy at entry into the study. The study was terminated four- to six-weeks postpartum. No significant difference was found in the prebirth marital adjustment scores between experimental and control groups. Although most of the marital adjustment scores of both groups increased after birth, increases were not significant. Postbirth marital adjustment scores were significantly less for the experimental group than for the control group. Experimental group husbands' and wives' prebirth stress scores were significantly greater than those of the control group; stress scores increased significantly after birth for experimental group husbands and control group husbands and wives. Experimental group fathers were under significantly greater levels of postbirth stress than control group fathers, although there was no significant difference in mothers' postbirth stress scores between groups. Most mothers and fathers in both groups experienced slight to moderate feelings of crisis during the postpartum period, but no significant difference was found in crisis scores between groups.
采用非概率抽样方法，选取20对初婚初育的夫妇，调查了拉梅兹分娩法对产妇产后适应及新父母产后危机感受的影响。实验组由10对参加拉梅兹课程的夫妇组成；对照组由10对未参加的夫妇组成。研究开始时，女性处于妊娠晚期。研究在产后四至六周结束。实验组和对照组产前婚姻适应得分无显著差异。虽然两组的大多数婚姻适应得分在产后都有所提高，但提高并不显著。实验组产后婚姻适应得分显著低于对照组。实验组丈夫和妻子的产前压力得分显著高于对照组；实验组丈夫以及对照组丈夫和妻子的压力得分在产后显著增加。实验组父亲产后压力水平显著高于对照组父亲，尽管两组母亲产后压力得分无显著差异。两组中的大多数母亲和父亲在产后期间都经历了轻度至中度的危机感受，但两组的危机得分无显著差异。
