The article reports a correlational, partial replication study investigating the relationship between couples' prenatal attitudes toward childbirth participation and perceptions of their labor and delivery experiences. The Prenatal Attitude toward Childbirth Participation Scale was administered to 119 couples before and after attendance at a childbirth education course. The Labor Delivery Evaluation Scale, the Labor Agency Scale, and the Delivery Agency Scale were administered after delivery. Results showed that childbirth education affected couples' anticipated levels of control during labor and delivery. Anticipated and perceived levels of control were associated, and perceived levels of control correlated with overall evaluations of childbirth experiences. These findings suggest that childbirth educators and health care providers should focus on participants' opportunities to exercise control during childbirth and on identifying emergency situations during which control must be relinquished to the health care team.
本文报道了一项相关性的部分重复研究，该研究调查了夫妻产前对分娩参与的态度与其分娩经历认知之间的关系。在参加分娩教育课程前后，对119对夫妻进行了《产前分娩参与态度量表》的测试。产后进行了《分娩评估量表》《分娩自主性量表》和《接生自主性量表》的测试。结果显示，分娩教育影响了夫妻对分娩过程中预期的控制水平。预期控制水平与感知控制水平相关，且感知控制水平与分娩经历的总体评价相关。这些发现表明，分娩教育者和医疗服务提供者应关注参与者在分娩过程中行使控制权的机会，以及识别必须将控制权交给医疗团队的紧急情况。
