The attendance of fathers in the delivery room to accompany the women giving birth is in Germany quite common. In this study we wanted to compare the results of a questionnaire on feelings, intention an anxiety of attending fathers in an east and west German maternity hospital. Although social acceptance of fathers in the delivery room in the eastern part of Germany is delayed by 10 years (compared to western clinics) the over all impression of attending fathers was similar. We aid find differences concerning the expectations, the way of mental preparing and considerations participating the approaching birth in east and west questionared fathers. The results also showed variable knowledge in respect of pregnancy and birth. We do think that after a time of ("father") experience in the east part of Germany the expression of opinion will adjust.
在德国，孩子出生时父亲进入产房陪伴产妇相当普遍。在这项研究中，我们想比较一份关于德国东部和西部妇产医院陪产父亲的感受、意愿和焦虑的调查问卷结果。尽管德国东部产房对父亲的社会接受度比西部诊所晚了10年，但陪产父亲的总体印象是相似的。我们确实发现，在接受问卷调查的东部和西部父亲中，他们在期望、心理准备方式以及对即将到来的分娩参与的考虑方面存在差异。结果还表明，他们在怀孕和分娩方面的知识参差不齐。我们认为，在德国东部有了一段时间的（“父亲”）经历后，他们的意见表达将会调整。
