The present study investigated pre and postpartum attitudes toward self, spouse, and 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 due to complications necessitating cesarean sections (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, with y/n women also showing increases in potency for the ideal woman. The y/n husbands showed no statistically significant pre-post gains, while the 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（是/是组），13对因并发症需剖宫产而未能如此（是/否组）。语义差异量表评定结果显示，与是/是组相比，是/否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都更低。两组女性在产后，多项概念的活力方面都有统计学意义上的显著增加，是/否组女性在理想女性的力量方面也有所增加。是/否组的丈夫在产前和产后没有统计学意义上的显著变化，而对于是/是组的丈夫，在自我活力维度上，产前和产后有统计学意义上的显著增加。文中讨论了对护理实践及进一步研究的启示。
