Abstract

In recent years there has been a great deal of debate and controversy about the management of childbirth, among both the medical profession and the lay public. Perhaps related to this public debate, and to the increasing concern with “women's issues”, there has also been a growing interest among British sociologists in this topic. Unfortunately, this sociological interest may not always be welcomed by obstetricians and policy-makers who may be unaware of the scope of sociology and regard sociological contributions as over-simplified or biased. This paper outlines possible sociological approaches, reviews debates about home versus hospital confinements and the active management of labour, and formulates research questions to which the sociology of reproduction might address itself.

分娩管理:社会学研究问题综述
近年来,在医学界和普通大众中,关于分娩管理存在着大量的争论和争议。也许与这场公众辩论有关,也与人们对“妇女问题”的日益关注有关,英国社会学家对这个话题的兴趣也越来越大。不幸的是,这种社会学的兴趣可能并不总是受到产科医生和政策制定者的欢迎,他们可能不知道社会学的范围,认为社会学的贡献过于简化或有偏见。本文概述了可能的社会学方法,回顾了关于家庭与医院分娩和劳动积极管理的辩论,并制定了生殖社会学可能解决的研究问题。
