本研究探討研究者所設計之產前教育模式與支持團體對生殖科技懷孕婦女安適感之成效。採類實驗設計法，自89年12月至91年2月於中部某不孕症研究治療中心，以接受生殖科技治療後懷孕婦女為研究樣本，經由立意取樣，共計收取實驗組28位與控制組30位，於妊娠10-12週進行兩組之第一次結構式之問卷調查；隨後實驗組給予產前教育課程每週一次，每次90分鐘，共計四次；而控制組則無。於妊娠16-18週兩組進行第二次問卷調查。結果顯示實驗組之婦女的懷孕接受度、與母親的關係及總量表之安適感得分，均高於控制組，達統計顯著差異。但與先生的關係得分卻低於控制組，需要進一步探討其原因再加以修正課程內容。故此教育模式對生殖科技懷孕婦女的懷孕接受度、與母親的關係及總量表之安適感是具有成效的，可於生殖科技治療中心提供給生殖科技懷孕婦女，以促進其孕期之安適感。
This study evaluated effectiveness of prenatal education and peer support on the well-being of pregnant women who received assisted reproduction treatment. From December 2000 to February 2002, we conducted a quasi-experimental study using purposive sampling to collect data from an infertility treatment center in central Taiwan. Nursing intervention with prenatal education and peer group support were provided during first or second trimester to an experimental group of 28 women for 90 minutes per week for 4 weeks. Measurements were obtained before and after one month of prenatal education. Within the control group were 30 women who did not receive prenatal education. Measurements were obtained before and after one month without instruction. Results indicated that experimental group participants had higher levels of pregnancy acceptance, better relationships with their mothers and higher total well-being scores than control group participants. However, experimental group participants scored lower than control subjects on relationships with their husbands. These findings regarding the effectiveness of prenatal education and a peer support can provide nurses with more understanding regarding the well-being and interpersonal relationships experienced by patients receiving assisted reproduction treatment.
