|

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of the Sophrologic Prenatal Education Program.
Method: The subjects of this study were 16 antepartum women who had been registered at community health centers at S-gu in Pusan. Data were collected from women who visited for antenatal care during the period from the 7th of May to 28th of June in 2003. Participants were evaluated before and on completion of the 8 weeks’ educational program using 3 instruments: Breast-feeding knowlege, Maternal- fetal attachment and Antenatal stress. The Wilcoxon Signed-Ranks Test was conducted for data analysis using SPSS/WIN 10.0.
Results: Statistically significant difference was found between the pretest and posttest in the mean score of the Breast-feeding knowledge. The mean scores of the experiment group and the control group were 31.44±5.51 and 37.06±4.27 respectively (p=.001). No statistically significant difference was found between the pretest and posttest in the mean score of the Maternal-fetal attachment (p=.315, p=.578).
Conclusions: Community health care providers must consider the emotional needs of Korean people and make
efforts to adapt the Sophrologie Prenatal Education Program for a larger number of antepartum women in community.
