ABSTRACT
This research is an attempt to find out, through the expectations and evaluations of prenatal classes by groups of expectant parents at tending the classes, why particular groups of pregnant women appear to attend prenatal classes more than other groups. The subjects included primigravidas and multi gravidas. The data was collected through participant observation and tape recording of the prenatal classes, discussions with the c l ass instructor, the subjects' hospital records and Unstructured interviewing of the subjects. The major Findings show that Multiprimigravidas, English Canadians, higher educated and higher class mothers attend the classes. The Mother Expect to obtain more exercises than Information on pregnancy, labour baby care and group support from other mothers. These expectations seem to be met by the classes. More than half of the subjects (60 percent) are completely satisfied while the remaining ho percent are only partially satisfied. The partial Satisfaction is attributable mainly to the organization of the classes rather than the content. The level of satisfaction has some relationship with age, education and occupational class. Nevertheless, its appears to have no association with expectations and subsequent attendance of the classes. On the other hand, age, parity, educational level, occupational class and expectations of the mother seem to account for some expectant mothers attending prenatal classes more than others. Further research of these findings is suggested.
