Outline of Final Research Achievements

We modified the Life-line Interview Method for use in pregnant women and mothers rearing children to understand their continuous mental condition changes and significant events affecting such changes. Methods: Individual interviews were conducted with 15mothers with children between ages12months. The events were then categorized by gestational week and mental status. Results: Although participants drew a variety of lifelines, similar patterns were observed in branching events, such as detection of pregnancy, pleasant season, and completion of childbirth at the rising point, and morning sickness, bewilderment of a newborn’s care, concern for the elder child (in multigravida) at the declining point. Conclusions: Understanding the events leading to negative mental condition might help provide preventive and immediate care for women. Our modified LIM can be a powerful tool in understanding women’s life experience during the perinatal period.
