Mindset, Partner Relationship, and Childbirth

关于分娩的心理学研究很少。来自其他科学领域的研究，如妇科或助产学，强调了心理因素在分娩中的重要性。然而，这项研究往往缺乏方法上的严谨性。在这个项目中，我们建议构建一个与出生相关的思维模式，旨在复制和扩展现有的研究。我们在第一项研究中表明，自然或医学取向与分娩和分娩的不同方面(如出生地和剖腹产)有关。这个项目的目的是确定心态的形成，例如通过妇科医生、助产士和伴侣。我们进一步想要调查与出生相关的心态是否因果地决定了分娩和分娩，以及分娩过程产生了什么心理结果。我们将使用直接和间接方法，以及生态瞬时评估(EMA；Stone&Shiffmann，1994)来收集数据。研究结果可能被用于制定预防措施，以改变梗阻心态。

Psychological research on childbirth is rare. Research from other scientific fields such as gynecology or midwifery highlight the importance of psychological factors in childbirth. The research, however, is often lacking methodological rigor. In this project we propose the construct of a birthrelated mindset that aims to replicate and expand existing research. We showed in a first study that an either natural or medicalized mindset-orientation was associated with different aspects of labor and birth (e.g. place of birth and cesarean section). The aim of this project is to determine the formation of the mindset e.g. through gynecologists, midwives, and partners. We further want to investigate whether the birth-related mindset causally determines labor and birth and what psychological outcomes result from the birthing process. We will use direct and indirect measures, and the Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA; Stone & Shiffmann, 1994) for data collection. Study outcomes can potentially be used for the development of preventive measures for changing obstructive mindsets.
