ABSTRACT

Background: The form of parental support during pregnancy is constantly changing due to developments in society. ‘Psycho-prophylaxis training’ is a form of parental support used in preparation for childbirth. Only a few studies describe the childbirth experience of both the parents.

The aim was to interview parents receiving ‘psycho-prophylaxis training’ during pregnancy and to elucidate their experience of childbirth.

Method: A total of 22 open interviews were conducted with 11 expectant mothers and their 11 partners. Analysis of the interviews was performed using the content analysis method.

Results: Three categories emerged in the manifest phase. ‘To gain security from knowledge and focus on breathing and relaxation’, ‘The couple’s sense of proximity and the team collaboration with the maternity staff’ and ‘Meeting pain’. Two themes emerged during the latent analysis of which one was,” Participation gave a sense of security” and the other was ‘Manageability’.

Conclusion: Knowledge about childbirth and the ability, by the mother, to use various breathing techniques seemed to help both parents, as it made both of them feel that they were themselves involved in the process.

摘要

背景：孕期父母支持的形式随着社会的发展而不断变化。“心理预防培训”是一种为分娩做准备的父母支持形式。只有少数研究描述了父母双方的分娩经历。

目的是采访在怀孕期间接受“心理预防培训”的父母，并阐明他们的分娩经历。

方法: 对 11 位准妈妈及其 11 位伴侣共进行了 22 次公开访谈。访谈分析采用内容分析法。

结果：在清单阶段出现了三个类别。“从知识中获得安全感，专注于呼吸和放松”、“夫妻的亲近感以及与产科人员的团队合作”和“会议的痛苦”。在潜在的分析过程中出现了两个主题，一个是“参与带来安全感”，另一个是“可管理性”。

结论：关于分娩的知识和母亲使用各种呼吸技巧的能力似乎对父母双方都有帮助，因为这让他们俩都觉得自己参与了这个过程。
