Abstract:
Objective:To explore the mediating effect of accompanied childbirth experience among spouses of primipara on dynamic adjustment after marriage and paternal role adaptation, with the aim of providing reference for further improving accompanying childbirth services.Methods:Spouses of primipara who participated in accompanying childbirth at Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital Group Suqian Hospital from January 2023 to June 2024 were selected as the research subjects through convenience sampling. The general information questionnaire, the Chinese version of Dynamic Adjustment Scale, the Parents' Experiences of Childbirth and the Newborn Father's Role Adaptation Questionnaire were used to conduct a cross-sectional survey, and establish the intermediary model between the dynamic adjustment after marriage and the paternal role adaptation.Results:A total of 244 spouses of primipara were included, with an age of (28.86 ± 5.77) years. The score for dynamic adjustment in spouses of primipara was (110.82 ± 16.33) points, the score for experiences of childbirth was (124.27 ± 13.89) points, and the score for paternal role adaptation was (71.66 ± 9.22) points. The accompanied childbirth experience among spouses of primipara was positively correlated with the dynamic adjustment after marriage and the paternal role adaptation ( r=0.197, 0.511, both P<0.01). The dynamic adjustment after marriage was positively correlated with the paternal role adaptation ( r=0.403, P<0.01). The accompanied childbirth experience among spouses had a partial mediating effect between the dynamic adjustment after marriage and the parental role adaptation, which the mediating effect was 0.182, accounting for 32.79% of the total effect. Conclusions:The dynamic adjustment after marriage can directly predict the paternal role adaptation, and the experience of accompanying childbirth has a partial mediating effect between the two. The role adaptation level of the spouses of the primiparas should be improved by further improving the delivery service to meet the needs of the primiparas and their spouses.
