目的：了解澳大利亚墨尔本地区泰国妇女对孕期保健、分娩和分娩的看法和经验。设计：对怀孕、分娩和生育方面的妇女进行人种学访谈和参与者观察。地点：澳大利亚维多利亚州墨尔本大都会地区。参与者：30名现居墨尔本的泰国妇女，调查结果：泰国妇女将产前保健视为怀孕的重要方面，并在怀疑自己怀孕时立即寻求保健，她们更关心婴儿的福祉，而不是自己的健康，因此她们参加所有产前预约。总体而言，这些妇女对分娩期间的护理感到满意，但也有一些人对照顾者和医院常规有负面经历。当被要求比较泰国和澳大利亚的产科服务时，大多数女性认为澳大利亚的服务更好。然而，在泰国有过良好分娩经历的女性往往对澳大利亚的经历持负面看法。这项研究中还有证据表明，这些泰国妇女中的大多数没有得到关于护理的充分信息。实践的影响：如果要向澳大利亚和其他地方的妇女提供适当和敏感的护理，妇女在产前护理、分娩和分娩方面的观念和经历值得关注。只有在保健提供的各个方面都能听到妇女的声音，我们才能看到为分娩妇女提供更好和适当的保健服务。
Objective: to identify the perceptions and experience of pregnancy care, labour and birth of Thai women in Melbourne, Australia.Design: an ethnographic interview and participant observation with women in relation to pregnancy, labour and birth.Setting: Melbourne Metropolitan Area, Victoria, Australia.participants: 30 Thai women who are now living in Melbourne,Findings: Thai women saw antenatal care as an important aspect of their pregnancy and sought care as soon as they suspected they were pregnant, They were more concerned about the well-being of their babies than their own health, therefore they attended all antenatal appointments. In general, these women were satisfied with care during labour, but some also had negative experiences with their caregivers and hospital routine. When asked to compare maternity services between Thailand and Australia, most of the women believed that services in Australia were better. However, women who had had good experiences of childbirth in Thailand, tended to have negative feelings about the Australian experience. There was also evidence in this study that most of these Thai women did not receive adequate information about care.Implications for practice: women's perceptions and experiences of antenatal care, labour and birth deserve attention, if appropriate and sensitive care is to be provided to women in Australia and elsewhere. It is only when women's voices are heard in all aspects of health-care delivery that we may see better and appropriate health services for women in childbirth.
