| Research Abstract |
This study focused on empowerment that birth educators perceive and how they facilitate pregnant women in childbirth education class. Firstly, we analyzed the concept of empowerment in childbirth education utilizing the existing studies. The empowerment used in this study was defined as the process in which participants choose the pregnancy lifestyle and style of delivery they desired to have through their interaction with others, and act upon their choices utilizing their own abilities. We carried out an interview survey of six midwives engaged in childbirth education at their facilities and obtained the following findings :
1) Four categories were extracted as empowerment that arose among participants in the childbirth classes : exchange and encouragement between members ; riot of emotion ; activating thoughts ; progress involving the people around them. 18 subcategories among the four categories showed that they reflect the context of childbirth education and are easy to utilize as indices for the understanding of empowerment.
2) Birth educators encouraged participants to generate change in the classes. Six subcategories were extracted as content : make a comfortable place to talk ; perceive ; ask questions and involve participants ; watch over them ; provide gentle support ; value each delivery.
Findings obtained in this study will sensitize educators to the viewpoint of empowerment. In addition, it will be a reference for empowerment support.
