“…, pregnant women most often received social support from their husband / partner, which was the strongest and the most important protective factor, both in a high-risk pregnancy and a normal pregnancy. According to the authors, this was due to the fact of exceptional understanding and trust between partners, as well as the pursuit of the common goal of having a child [13,15,19,20,21,22]. Analysis of the results confirmed the thesis that pregnant women most often receive support from their relatives.…”

As a result of the analysis, it was found that in pregnant women who were pregnant for the first time and the pregnancy was planned, the average value of currently received support was 3.27 and 3.24, respectively. For women who did not give birth, the average value of support demand was 3.05. In contrast, pregnant women in the second trimester of pregnancy showed a greater need for support and more often seek support. Pregnant women who participated in childbirth classes had an average perception of available support of 3.65. Conclusions.

“…45 Os resultados desta revisão integrativa corroboram a afirmação de que o apoio social de familiares e cônjuges às gestantes apresenta impacto positivo sobre a experiência de gestação e parto, reforçando a necessidade de orientações aos familiares, para que ofereçam maior apoio à gestante. 46,47 As intervenções de apoio social com inclusão de visitas domiciliares de equipe multidisciplinar, durante o pré-natal, resultaram em melhor qualidade de cuidado, com impacto direto na diminuição da depressão pós-parto e na melhora da interação entre mãe e filho. 48 Os resultados evidenciaram que a depressão gestacional apresenta-se como morbidade comum no período pré-natal, muitas vezes negligenciada.…”

O relacionamento familiar estruturado desempenha papel decisivo na prevenção e no tratamento de comorbidades, em especial no período gestacional. O objetivo deste estudo foi sistematizar o conhecimento produzido acerca dos instrumentos utilizados para avaliação das relações familiares de gestantes. Trata-se de revisão integrativa da literatura realizada nas bases de dados LILACS, SciELO, MEDLINE® e PubMed® publicados entre 1° de janeiro de 2009 a 16 de abril de 2019. Utilizaram-se os seguintes descritores controlados “family relations AND pregnant women AND surveys AND questionnaires”. Preencheram os critérios de inclusão 25 artigos. Destes, 64% foram classificados como estudos transversais. Dentre os instrumentos utilizados para avaliação das relações familiares de gestantes mais prevalentes estiveram o Autonomy and Relatedness Inventory, o Attachment Style Interview, The Pregnancy Experience Scale, o Family Relation Index e a Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview. Em meio aos artigos selecionados, emergiram temáticas que apresentavam influência direta sobre as relações familiares, como violência por parceiro íntimo, promoção da saúde na gestação, depressão gestacional e binômio mãe e filho. Para cada objeto de estudo relacionado, foram utilizados questionários específicos e semiestruturados. Foram escassos os questionários específicos para o objetivo geral de avaliação das relações familiares durante o período gestacional. Torna-se imprescindível a adequação de questionários de fácil aplicação na prática clínica, que avaliem apropriadamente a qualidade das relações no período gestacional, adaptados à realidade brasileira.

“…Men's participation during pregnancy increases women's acceptance of prenatal care [2], which reduces the negative behaviors of women and improves the outcomes of pregnancy [3]. On the other hand, the lack of participation and support of spouses in prenatal care is associated with increased postpartum depression, lack of desire for breastfeeding, and anxiety and stress in women [4,5]. Women who are dissatisfied with their husbands' support during pregnancy are at higher risk for having a negative experience of childbirth [6].…”

“…e results of a study by Aliabedian et al in Babol showed that 69% of Iranian men participate in prenatal care [17]. Mortazavi et al reported 25% of men participated in prenatal care in Sabzevar, Iran [14], which could indicate a difference in social and cultural factors in these two regions of Iran [5]. However, compared to developed countries, the participation of Iranian men in prenatal care is low [14].…”

Background. Men have a special role to play in promoting maternal and child health during pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum period. The health of women also requires the participation and cooperation of men. The aim of this study is to compare the effect of virtual and face-to-face childbirth preparation training for spouses of the primiparous women on the pregnancy experience, fear of childbirth (FOC), and mother- and father-infant attachment. Methods. The primiparous women attending the prenatal clinics of Lolagar Hospital and Azadi and Tehransar health centers of Tehran along with their husbands will be studied. The inclusion criteria for the women’s husbands are the first experience of becoming a father, being at least 18 years of age, and the ability to read and write. The exclusion criteria for women’s husbands are the history of physical/mental illness; being a smoker; and consuming alcohol, drugs, or psychotropic substances. The participants will be selected by the convenience sampling method and will be divided into three groups of study A, study B, and control. Spouses in study groups A and B will receive childbirth training through virtual and face-to-face methods with similar content, respectively. The control group only receives ordinary prenatal care. At the 18–20 weeks of gestation, demographic information, pregnancy experience scale (PES), and version A of Wijma delivery expectancy/experience questionnaire (WDEQ-A) will be completed. At 37-38 weeks of gestation, the PES and WDEQ-A questionnaires will be completed again and maternal postnatal attachment scale (MPAS) and postnatal paternal-infant attachment questionnaire (PPAQ) will be completed by the parents 12 weeks after the delivery. Discussion. Improving the experience of pregnancy, especially reducing the FOC and creating a positive attitude towards it, is a vital strategy to promote vaginal childbirth and reduce the number of cesarean sections requested by women. Achieving this will reduce the cost of health care and improve the quality of life during pregnancy, after childbirth, and during the growth and development of infants. Ethics and Dissemination. This research has been funded by the Iran University of Medical Sciences, approved by the Thailand Registry of Clinical Trials, and will commence in May 2020. Results will be disseminated through peer-reviewed journals and shared with the academic and medical community to pregnancy and childbirth outcomes. This trial is registered with TCTR20200515011.
