【摘要】 目的:了解农村妇女产褥期(“坐月子”)行为模式。方法:对1813名产后5至10年的妇女进行回顾性问卷调查,了解其产后1个月内的行为情况。结果:在调查的农村地区,妇女在“坐月子”期间的行为发生了很大变化:90%以上的人不吃生、冷和酸的食物;90%的妇女不洗头、不洗澡;70%以上的妇女不刷牙等;这些改变是由对其中少数行为的加强和大多数行为的禁忌组成;这种加强与禁忌在产后不同时期程度不同;进一步分析发现这些行为改变不受妇女年龄与时间变化的影响,妇女的文化程度和地域对其影响也很小。结论:“坐月子”行为是对平时行为的巨大改变,这种改变涉及到衣食住行各个方面;村落文化中的生育观、疾病观以及心理因素等是“坐月子”行为广泛存在的主要原因。更多还原

【Abstract】 Objective:To describe women’s behavioral patterns in the period of “doing the month”(confinement in childbirth)and to determine the degree of differences between “doing the month” practices and daily behaviors.Methods:A retrospective survey was conducted with a random sample of 1 813 women who were interviewed using a questionnaire undertaken in May of 2004.Results:The results showed that the majority of women adhered to the traditional customs.While “doing the month”,more than 90% of women did not eat cold,hard,or sour food;more than 90% of the women did not wash their hair or body at all,and more than 70% of women did not brush their teeth or wash their!feet.As compared to what women normally do,most women drastically changed their practices in eating,sanitation,dress,activity,doing chores,and so on,during their “doing the month”.Further analysis indicated that women’s age had no effect on the change of practice patterns and that women’s education had an inconsequential effect.Conclusion:The traditional “doing the month” practices are still very popular in the rural areas of China.Birth belief,illness concept and traditional village culture are the main factors for the pattern of “doing the month”.更多还原
