本研究は，初妊婦夫婦の育児経験の現状と妊婦が夫に期待し夫が希望する育児内容を明らかにする事により，妊娠期からの育児準備支援の示唆を得る事を目的とした．育児セミナーに参加し，質問紙調査に同意を得た妊婦夫婦174 組348 名を対象として調査した結果，育児経験率は，妊婦24.7％，夫14.9％と低かった．夫婦ペアでは，夫婦とも経験があるのは9 組（5.2％），どちらか経験があるのは51 組（29.3％），夫婦とも経験がない夫婦は114 組（65.5％）で，有意（p ＜ .001）に育児経験のない夫婦が多かった．夫の育児支援について，妊婦が夫へ期待する率と夫が希望する率はどちらも82.2％～ 95.4％で，夫婦間の希望と期待の認知は一致していた．育児内容別では，夫婦共に90％以上の項目に沐浴があげられ，育児教室等の体験が育児のイメージ化につながっているものと考えられた．オムツ交換（P ＜ .01），あやすこと（P ＜ .05）は，育児経験のある夫の希望率が有意に高く，経験が必要な項目であることが窺われた．育児経験の少ない現代の初妊婦夫婦には，育児教室等で育児技術経験を取り入れ，育児のイメージ化を図るような支援が有効である事が示唆された．

This study was conducted to gain insights into providing assistance for child-care preparation beginning during pregnancy. This was done by elucidating the realities of child-care experiences of first-time parents, as well as the child-care duties that expecting mothers anticipate from their husbands and those that the husbands wish to perform. Results of a survey of 174 couples (348 participants) who participated in the child-care seminars and agreed to complete the questionnaire showed that the overall level of child-care experience was low, with 24.7% of wives and 14.9% of husbands reporting such experience. In 9 couples (5.2%) both parties had childcare experience, in 51 couples (29.3%) only one party had such an experience, and in 114 couples (65.5%) neither party had any experience. Thus, there were significantly more couples in which neither party had any experience (p < .001). The percentage of child-care support that the expecting mothers anticipated from their husbands and the amount that the husbands wished to provide were both between 82.2% and 95.4%, respectively, showing congruency of the hopes and expectations between the husbands and wives. Turning to specific child-care duties, over 90% of both the husbands and wives selected bathing the child. This result is believed to reflect the experience of child-care classes that led the couples to visualize caring for a child. The proportion wanting duties such as changing diapers (p < .01) and cradling infants (p < .05) were significantly higher among the husbands with child-care experience than among those without, suggesting that these items require experience. Based on the above findings, it was suggested that assistance that aids couples to visualize child-care by incorporating experiences of child-care skills in child-care classes is effective for modern couples expecting their first child and lacking child-care experience.
