|
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the attitudes of wives and husbands to the husband’s presence during labor and delivery.
Methods: A total of 264 participants including 132 wives and 132 husbands were surveyed. The participants’ attitudes towards the husband’s presence during child birth were collected using a questionnaire. The data were analyzed by descriptive analysis, t-test, Mann-Whitney test, ANOVA with post hoc, and Kruskal-Wallis test.
Results: 119 husbands participated in all stages of labor. Mean attitude scores were 109.7(13.47) for wives and 108.7(12.60) for husbands. Husbands’ attitudes scores were significantly related to marriage satisfaction and family planning.
Conclusion: Wives and husbands had positive attitudes to the husband’s presence during the labor and delivery. Therefore, husband’s presence during labor and delivery could be encouraged.
