Information was collected from pregnant women about their knowledge of and previous experience with medical students; their opinions towards medical students being involved at the time of delivery and the socioeconomic and religious influences on these. The format of the study was a self-administered questionnaire survey. The setting was a teaching hospital in the UK. In total, 118 pregnant women aged between 15 and 46 years, with a gestational age of 18-42 weeks were surveyed. Factors which significantly influenced acceptance of medical students were found to be previous number of children (P = < 0.001) and religious beliefs of the pregnant women (P = 0.002). Only 51.4% of antenatal women knew that a "medical student" is a doctor in training and most assumed that the role of the student at the time of delivery required very few clinical skills. Only 13.6% knew that medical students could deliver a baby under supervision. Of the 118 subjects, 95.4% thought that student participation at the time of delivery was a worthwhile learning experience; however, only 74.6% were actually willing for a student to be involved. In conclusion, pregnant women appear to have made their decisions about medical student participation by balancing personal needs with a sense of responsibility to help in the education of others. The results suggest the patients need more information about medical students, including an explanation of the term 'medical student' and an outline of the role they play during the intrapartum period.
收集了孕妇关于她们对医学生的了解和以往与医学生接触经历的信息；她们对医学生在分娩时参与的看法以及社会经济和宗教对此的影响。研究形式为自行填写问卷调查。研究地点是英国的一家教学医院。总共对118名年龄在15至46岁之间、孕周为18 - 42周的孕妇进行了调查。发现显著影响对医学生接受度的因素是既往子女数量（P = < 0.001）和孕妇的宗教信仰（P = 0.002）。只有51.4%的产前妇女知道“医学生”是正在接受培训的医生，大多数人认为学生在分娩时所需的临床技能很少。只有13.6%的人知道医学生在监督下可以接生。在118名受试者中，95.4%认为学生在分娩时参与是一次有价值的学习经历；然而，实际上只有74.6%的人愿意让学生参与。总之，孕妇似乎是通过在个人需求与帮助他人教育的责任感之间取得平衡来做出关于医学生参与的决定。结果表明患者需要更多关于医学生的信息，包括对“医学生”一词的解释以及他们在产时所扮演角色的概述。
