The purpose of this study was to explore the couples' attitude toward husband's childbirth participation and its context. By a cross-sectional study, data were collected from 100 couples who plant to deliver at one medical center in southern Taiwan. The modified version of individual Traditionality-Modernity Scale, a Social Support Scale, Zung's Self-rating depression scale and Zung's Self-rating Anxiety Scale, and the Chinese Health Questionnaire were used. Findings indicated that 73.0% wives and 80.0% husbands showed a favorable attitude toward husband's childbirth participation. Four factors were identified to be associated with couples' favorable attitude: (1) wife's mental support; (2) welcome for newborn's coming; (3) share in the childbirth with the wife together; (4) curiosity about the labor. In contrast, four factors related to unfavorable attitude were found: (1) unhelpful for the wife; (2) folk taboo; (3) husband's psychological impact; and (4) wife's negative body image. Moreover, logistic multiple regression indicated that those wives who desired a boy or a girl and those husbands who had junior college or below education tended to anticipate husband's childbirth participation or tended to childbirth participation. In response to the social trend, it is necessary to conduct more childbirth classes and encourage husbands to be present in the delivery room in order to promote family-oriented care in our health care system.
本研究的目的是探讨夫妻对丈夫参与分娩及其背景的态度。通过横断面研究，从台湾南部一家医疗中心计划分娩的100对夫妻中收集数据。使用了个人传统-现代性量表的修订版、社会支持量表、zung氏自评抑郁量表和zung氏自评焦虑量表以及中国健康问卷。研究结果表明，73.0%的妻子和80.0%的丈夫对丈夫参与分娩持积极态度。确定了与夫妻积极态度相关的四个因素：(1)妻子的精神支持；(2)对新生儿到来的期待；(3)与妻子一起参与分娩；(4)对分娩的好奇。相比之下，发现了与消极态度相关的四个因素：(1)对妻子无帮助；(2)民间禁忌；(3)丈夫的心理影响；(4)妻子的负面身体形象。此外，逻辑多元回归表明，那些想要男孩或女孩的妻子以及那些教育程度为大专及以下的丈夫倾向于期待丈夫参与分娩或倾向于参与分娩。为了响应社会趋势，有必要开展更多的分娩课程，并鼓励丈夫进入产房，以便在我们的医疗保健系统中促进以家庭为导向的护理。
