Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: The purpose of the study is to describe the experience of women who have had a crisis/conflict and made a choice in relation to pregnancy and childbirth, and to suggest implications for counseling.
Methods: The authors used a purposive sampling method to select 12 cases of women with crisis/conflict experiences related to pregnancy and childbirth, collecting data via direct interview or by obtaining a written text describing their experience. An inductive (open) coding approach was utilized to draw themes from the data.
Results: A total of 69 meaning units were found, which were then organized into 22 subcategories, and 6 categories. The 6 categories describing crisis/conflict experiences of the study participants include “pregnancy turning into a life crisis”, “worsening of pregnancy and childbirth conflict”, “decision-making driven by situation”, “making a choice with a sense of direction”, “moving on with life by embracing the consequences”, and “hopes for counseling services related to pregnancy and childbirth crisis/conflict”.
Conclusions: Implications and future directions were discussed for counseling services on women having crisis/conflict related to pregnancy and childbirth.
