这项研究旨在将男性参与的概念扩展到产妇健康，并了解危地马拉男性和女性对丈夫参与怀孕、分娩和产后的看法。基于对危地马拉两个农村地区男性、女性和社区卫生工作者的个人访谈和焦点小组，本文描述了丈夫提供的与怀孕有关的建议和帮助，以及男性参与和不参与母亲健康的原因。男性和女性都报告说，男性对产妇保健的参与度相对较高、可取、独特，并受到许多因素的影响。这些因素包括爱情、男人的工作需求、经济问题和男人的知识。这些结果有助于填补对男性参与家庭健康这一方面的理解的巨大空白，并有助于纠正关于丈夫与产妇健康和保健的关系的陈规定型观念。
This study aimed to extend notions of male involvement to maternal health and to understand how Guatemalan men and women think about husband involvement in pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. Based on individual interviews and focus groups with men, women, and community health workers in two areas of rural Guatemala, this paper describes the pregnancy-related advice and assistance husbands give, and the reasons men are and are not involved in maternal health. Both men and women reported that male involvement in maternal health is relatively high, desirable, unique and affected by many factors. These include love, men's work demands, economic concerns and men's knowledge. The results help to fill broad gaps in understanding of male involvement in this aspect of family health and to amend stereotypes about husbands' relationship to maternal health and health care.
