Keywords:
Childbirth assistance, Prenatal care, Psychophysical preparation for childbirthAbstract
Objective: We found out the opinions and attitudes of the pregnant women to the quality level of courses of a psychophysical preparation. We also found out how many medical professions led the courses and which professions were being preferred by the women.
Subjects and Methods: Our research was based on a random sample of respondents. The study included 277 respondents. They were divided in to two groups – puerperas and midwives. For each group of respondents was used method of questionnaires. The results were being processed through a statistic program SPSS, version 14.0 on the base of mathematic – statistic methods (arithmetic average calculation, result of Chi-square test, Crombach coefficient Alfa).
Results: We found out, that the biggest attention was being paid in the courses to breast feeding, childbirth mechanism and particular childbirth phases. Psychoprophylactic preparation courses play an important role in preparation of pregnant women to the childbirth in physical, psychic and a social sphere. Opinions about course leading were different in each group of respondents – puerperas prefer a physician and midwife in leading the course.
Conclusion: We recommend to synchronize the knowledge in the education content not only from a medical aspect but also from a psychological and social aspect. In the aspect of law we also recommend to solve providing services in the psychoprophylactic preparation courses to be lead obligatory for every pregnant woman by the midwives with a certificate. We suggest to regularize by-law to be courses of psychophysical preparation paid by an insurance company.
