A study was conducted into 451 pregnant women who made use of Act No. 242 (GDR) in various phases of their pregnancy. Age, existence or absence of children, occupation, and shift work were obviously of no statistically significant effect on the time at which women decided to take advantage of the legal provision on sheltered jobs. It is expected, however, that some of the characteristics, such as nature of occupation, shift work and even more the number of children, will assume significance with numerically larger random samples. The dates at which pregnant women are assigned to easier jobs were found to depend with considerable significance on the medical doctor in charge, the department or area of employment, and the type of work. These findings can be interpreted as consequence of several factors, the medical officer's knowledge of specific working conditions to which his patients are exposed and objectively differentiated physical workloads. More information will be required on specific shop-floor conditions.
对451名在孕期不同阶段利用第242号法案（民主德国）的孕妇进行了一项研究。年龄、有无子女、职业和轮班工作显然对女性决定利用有关庇护性工作的法律规定的时间没有统计学上的显著影响。然而，可以预期，一些特征，如职业性质、轮班工作，甚至子女数量，在数量上更大的随机样本中会具有重要意义。发现孕妇被分配到较轻松工作的日期在很大程度上取决于负责的医生、就业部门或领域以及工作类型。这些发现可以解释为多种因素的结果，包括医务人员对其患者所接触的特定工作条件的了解以及客观上有差异的体力工作量。还需要更多关于具体车间条件的信息。
