The following methods were used in the study : (1) Stress Coping Inventory (SCI), (2) Feeling Rating Scale for a child, and (3) Japanese Parental Self-Evaluation Questionnaire (J-PSEQ). These were measured in the early and final stage of pregnancy, and the relationship of each measurement item was analyzed.
The following results were obtained : 1) In AS compared with the initial stage, the cognitive strategy group had a high evaluation of pregnancy acceptance in the final stage, and the evaluation of correspondence to the pain of delivery preparation or delivery was low.
