A Birth House as a Compromise between Childbirth at Home or at Hospital
DVOŘÁČKOVÁ, Viktorie
This work is devoted to the topic of birth houses. The work consists of a theoretical part and a practical part. The theoretical part describes the choice of the place where to give birth. There is described the hospital birth (and its related birth plan) and home birth. The issue of birth centers is described in detail both in the world and in the Czech Republic. Another topic is birth itself and its possible alternatives. The theoretical part is closed by the definition and position of a midwife. The work intended to map the interest of Czech women in giving birth in the birth center. Four hypotheses were set for the goal. H1: University-educated women are more interested in giving birth in the birth center than women with lower education. H2: Women with a bad experience with giving birth in the hospital are more interested in giving birth in the birth center than women with a good experience. H3: Women who gave birth in hospitals are more interested in giving birth in the birth center than women who gave birth at home. H4: Women who have already given birth are more interested in giving birth in a birth center than women who have not given birth. The set goal was achieved by a quantitative research survey in the form of a questionnaire of own design. The questionnaires were evaluated by using a statistical chi-square test, which determined the significance or insignificance of the results. The research group consisted of 981 women active on the social network Facebook and various web servers related to pregnancy. The research showed, that university educated women show a higher interest in giving birth in the birth center than women with lower education. We also found, that women who have been dissatisfied with hospital care are more interested in birth centers than women who report having a good experience. We also wanted to find out whether the place of the previous birth influences the interest of women in giving birth in the birth center. This hypothesis has not been confirmed. The result is influenced by the small number of respondents who experience a home birth. The last hypothesis was related to whether women who have already given birth are more interested in giving birth in the birth center. It turned out that women´s opinions on childbirth in the birth center do not differ depending on whether the woman has already given birth or not. The research survey showed that 59,2 % (answers yes or rather yes) of women are interested in giving birth in a birth center. We can therefore assume that part of the women would like such a facility to exist in the Czech republic.
