| Research Abstract |
The emotional experience. grief response, psychological anxiety (STAI), and depression (SDS) of mothers who had been informed of a fetal abnormality were surveyed.
The results revealed emotional experiences of "sadness"and "anxious feelings"and grief responses of "imagining the child, " "awareness of the day informed, " and "denial." Strong grief responses were seen in women without children and working women. Working women were stressed because they had taken time off from work for the survey and were asked about their unborn child. On the STAI.state anxiety score was 54.5 and trait anxiety score was 39.9. SDS score was 45.5. The STAI and SDS scores of these women were then compared with the scores of women with normal pregnancy courses, While among women with normal pregnancies each score was higher for those who already had children, the scores among women informed of a fetal abnormality were found to be somewhat higher tar those without children. Scores were also higher among women with normal pregnancies who were full-time homemakers, whereas among women informed of a fetal abnormality scores were higher among those with jobs outside the home.
With the aim of working toward a social consensus with regard to fetal medical treatment, university students (general, law, medical, and nursing school) were surveyed as to their awareness of such treatment. Of all respondents, 50.6% "knew of such treatment, " but when limited to males this was 17.6%. If a fetal abnormality were discovered, 92.6% would "desire fetal treatment" and 6.1% would "choose to have the pregnancy artificially terminated." More males than females would choose to end the pregnancy. A somewhat greater number of male medical students would choose artificial abortion than law students, students with religious faith, female students, and midwives with experience In caring for women carrying fetuses with abnormalities.
