本研究的目的是调查南非开普敦城郊地区孕妇的求医行为。本定性研究基于对32名孕妇的103次最低结构深度访谈。大多数妇女接受了几次采访，并与妇女进行了小组讨论。访谈被录下来，记录下来，进行人种学分析，并。如有必要，翻译成英文。产前护理出席人数受到若干因素的影响，包括妇女对产前护理作用的认识、感知到的保健需求、预约系统、护患关系、经济、儿童护理。和运输。在做出寻求治疗的决定之前，对预期的收益和预期的成本进行了权衡。调查结果强调了妇女对保健质量的看法在影响其求医做法方面的重要性。这项研究表明，需要对产妇服务的这一方面给予相当多的注意。(C) 2001年由美国护士助产士学院发布。
The objective of this study was to investigate the health-seeking practices of pregnant women in a periurban area in Cape Town, South Africa. This qualitative study was based on 103 minimally structured in-depth interviews of 32 pregnant women. Most women were interviewed on several occasions, and a group discussion was held with women. The interviews were taped, transcribed, analyzed ethnographically, and. if necessary, translated into English. Antenatal care attendance was influenced by a number of factors, including women's knowledge of the role of antenatal care, perceived health needs, booking systems, nurse-patient relationships, economics, child care. and transport. The expected benefits were weighed against the anticipated costs before decisions about seeking care were made. The findings highlight the importance of women's perceptions of quality of care in influencing their health seeking practices. The study suggests that considerably more attention needs to be given to this aspect of maternity services. (C) 2001 by the American College of Nurse-Midwives.
