Purpose:
To compare the preferences of those who accept a mental health assessment and those who do not.
Design And Methods:
Thirty couples participated in a qualitative study. Nineteen couples accepted a mental health assessment and 11 declined.
Findings:
Acceptors wanted more contact with professionals. Decliners preferred support from their informal network, parental leave, and exercise. However, acceptors also cited these preferences.
Practice Implications:
Nurses should tailor care to couples' preferences, helping them identify and utilize preferred resources. Mental health care might be more acceptable to decliners if provided in obstetrical care.
