METHODS: This study employed a descriptive phenomenological qualitative study using semistructured dyadic interviews with women and their partners. The interviews were audiotaped, transcribed verbatim and subjected to thematic analysis.
METHODS: This study was conducted in two pilot prenatal clinics in southern China.
METHODS: A purposive sample of 13 couples who underwent smartphone-assisted CenteringPregnancy were recruited. Data were collected until saturation through semistructured dyadic interviews between December 2022 and March 2023.
RESULTS: The study yielded four primary themes: (1) motivation for participation, (2) acceptance of CenteringPregnancy, (3) barriers and suggestions and (4) support for smartphone use of CenteringPregnancy.
CONCLUSIONS: CenteringPregnancy was well received by couples. Couples can access additional medical care and engage in intensive social interactions assisted by smartphones. However, certain objective challenges need to be acknowledged, including inadequate activity space, high demand for knowledge by couples and inflexible time for employed partners. Moreover, the risk that smartphones can lead to false expectations among couples needs to be noted.
方法:本研究采用描述性现象学定性研究,使用对女性及其伴侣的半结构化二元访谈。采访被录音了,逐字转录并进行主题分析。
方法:本研究在中国南方的两个试点产前诊所进行。
方法:招募了13对接受智能手机辅助中心妊娠的夫妇的目的样本。数据是通过2022年12月至2023年3月之间的半结构化二元访谈收集的,直到饱和。
结果:该研究产生了四个主要主题:(1)参与动机,(2)接受盘根妊娠,(3)障碍和建议;(4)支持智能手机使用CenteringPregnance。
结论:合并妊娠受到夫妇的欢迎。夫妻可以获得额外的医疗服务,并参与智能手机辅助的密集社交互动。然而,需要承认某些客观挑战,包括活动空间不足,夫妻对知识的需求很高,雇佣伴侣的时间不灵活。此外,需要注意的是,智能手机可能会导致夫妻之间的错误期望。
