Married couples with higher social status exhibit better family dynamics during pregnancy. This highlights the importance of socioeconomic factors for family well-being during this critical life transition.

Area of Science:

  • Family Studies
  • Maternal Health
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Pregnancy is a significant life transition, often perceived as a crisis by families.
  • Sociodemographic characteristics offer insights into family strengths and needs during pregnancy.
  • Understanding family dynamics is crucial for effective nursing support during the perinatal period.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the relationship between sociodemographic characteristics and family dynamics in women during the third trimester of pregnancy.
  • To identify factors influencing family strengths and inform nursing interventions for families experiencing pregnancy.

Main Methods:

  • A study involving 160 women in their third trimester of pregnancy.
  • Participants were equally divided between first-time and second-time mothers.

  • Family dynamics were assessed in relation to sociodemographic variables like marital status, social status, race, maternal age, and parity.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant positive relationships were found between marital status, social status, and family dynamics.
    • Families with married couples and higher social status demonstrated enhanced individuation, stability, flexibility, mutuality, and communication.
    • Race, maternal age, and parity did not show a statistically significant relationship with the level of family dynamics.

    Conclusions:

    • Marital and socioeconomic status are key determinants of positive family dynamics during pregnancy.
    • Factors contributing to stronger dynamics include resource availability, system navigation expertise, societal approval, and spousal support.
    • Nursing care should prioritize systematic family assessment, health system socialization, and individualized guidance to support families during pregnancy.
