摘要

Background: A successful and satisfying childbirth experience not only gives women a sense of accomplishment but also improves their self‐esteem and their adaptation to new maternal responsibilities.Purpose: This study aims to understand the impact of new mothers' perceived support and control during delivery on their childbirth experience. Findings may facilitate the development of appropriate nursing interventions to improve the childbirth experience.Methods: A cross‐sectional survey was used to study 228 participants recruited from the postpartum ward of a teaching hospital in eastern Taiwan. A structured questionnaire that included a demographic survey, perceived labor support and control instrument, and childbirth experience instrument was used to collect data. Descriptive data were presented using percentage, mean, and standard deviation. Independent t‐test, one‐way ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and stepwise regression were used for inferential statistics.Results: Results revealed marital status, perceived support, and control during delivery to be significant predictors of childbirth experience satisfaction. These three factors accounted for 11% of total variance.Conclusions/Implications for Practice: Results support that obstetrics nursing personnel should further enhance their knowledge and skills related to labor support and help increase patients' sense of control over their delivery in order to increase the positive feelings of these patients about the childbirth experience.
