[Socio-psychological factors of "family-oriented obstetrics", including "rooming in" (author's transl)].

The introduction of the "rooming in" system to maternity wards of many hospitals has been accompanied by additional demands on the hospital made by parents together with their desire tor "natural birth". Therefore, additional factors have to be taken into due consideration in the context of "family-oriented obstetrics". Interviews were made with 1,000 mothers, just after delivery to find out what they thought about certain marginal conditions in maternity advisory centres, delivery rooms, and on maternity wards. Their replies were statistically evaluated.
