Research Abstract |
We collected the following data during the time period of the research : 16 cases at 5 general hospitals, 6 cases at 2 obstetric and gynecological clinics (one which case consists of 4 consecutive sessions), and 6 cases at 2 midwife houses. All are audio-visual recordings of actual interaction between medical professionals and pregnant women. We attempted to transcribe them and analyze them as closely as possible. The analytic topics include what follows : 1) Referential practices in technological and non-technological environments : In the environment equipped with an ultrasound scanner, the perceptual fields are both spatially and modally separate. To reference a fetal body part in this environment successfully, parties need to coordinate their orientations to those fields in ways appropriate to the current status of interaction. Interestingly, the very same thing can be true of interaction in the environment in which only palpation is employed in prenatal examinations. 2) Spatial structure in interaction : Parties' spatial experiences in interaction are organized through the appropriate arrangement of bodies and tools, and the interactional order is organized through these spatial experiences. Even the spatial structure of a doctor's notebook is available as a resource for the organization of interaction. 3) Pregnant women's production of talk in medical interaction : The subtle differences in pregnant women's very small responses, which may have various evaluative, emotional, etc. implications, to the doctor's explanation may affect the trajectory of subsequent interaction. Pregnant women's presentation of problems is organized in a very different way than one in primary care, consequential to the overall structure of interaction. All of these findings are only possible to obtain through such detailed examinations of various interactional segments.
