Marital support during pregnancy
To describe and compare women's and men's experiences of partner support during pregnancy, a questionnaire that included the Support Behavior Inventory was given to 313 expectant couples in the latter half of pregnancy. Study findings revealed no difference between men and women in the mean partner support satisfaction score. A significant difference occurred in the variability of expectant mothers' and fathers' partner support scores. The specific support behaviors that elicited the greatest satisfaction and dissatisfaction in men and women are described.
