That was intense! Spirituality during childbirth: a mixed-method comparative study of mothers’ and fathers’ experiences in a public hospital

摘要

BackgroundWhile spirituality is well described in end-of-life care literature, research on its place in the delivery room remains largely limited to mother-oriented qualitative studies focusing on life-threatening situations (e.g., high-risk pregnancies). Our aim was to compare mothers’ and fathers’ spirituality during childbirth.
