Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 衛生教育學系 === 84 === The purpose of this study sought to pursue an overall
understanding of the cognition and compliance of the pregnant
women of traditional coustoms , and the impact of traditional
customs on their psychological stress. Furthermore,this study is
sought to trace the MCH of delivery, explore the interrelstion
of the traditional customs,and investigate the psychological
stress of pregnant women and Maternal-child Health(MCH).
Conducted during Dec 11, 1995 to Jan 20, 1996, with self-
administrated questionnaires, this studywas employed with
interviews of pregnant women in ateaching hospital.With 105
valid results available , the study adopted chart records in
April 12, 1996 ( to trace those who delivered before April
1996),and concluded with 41 thorough delivery cases. The
analysis was performed by MANOVA and canonical correlation.The
result showed that pregnant women were mostly informed of "
taboos in the pregnant women''''''''s rooms during pregnancy"; however,
in terms of firm adherece, more ofthem abided by intaking "
maintenance diet " in pregnancy. With respect tocomplying with
traditional customs," taboos in the pregnant women''''''''s rooms
during pregnancy" was mostly abided by. In terms of
psychological pressure, both high and low pressureshared in
half of the sampled pregnat women. With regardto the corrlation
of selective demography characteristics and cognition
oftraditional customs,younger pregnant women have better
cognition of " taboos of stimulating diet". Although better
cognition often lead to better compliance, yet psychological
stress was not postive related in this study. The study also
showed that compliance with traditional behavior and
psychological stress did not necessarily affect MCH
sigificantly. According to this study,professionals who
involved in health eduction weresuggested to consider
traditional customs of the role of culture, which influence
pregnant women , and to render health education following their
respective,individual needs; thus reducing their psychological
stress and facilitating aneven thorough prenatal care.
