Résumé : |
Background: Television is a form of mass communication used for educational, informational and entertainment purposes. In the UK, the viewing public has a keen interest in health care-related television programmes because of their fast-paced and emotive content (Kendal & Diug 2017). Through social learning theory, women's perceptions and expectations of the intrapartum period may be distorted by television depictions. This topic was therefore chosen through a personal fascination with the impact that television may have on human behaviour.
Objectives: The overall aim of this literature review was to explore the impact television may have on women's perceptions and expectations during the intrapartum period. Methodology: A mixed methods literature review was undertaken using a systematic process. The included papers were selected using inclusion-exclusion criteria to ensure a representative sample was reviewed (Table 1). The relevant papers were then organised using a PRISMA table and appraised using CASP and the McMaster Critical Review Form. Finally, thematic analysis and cross-tabulation were conducted to gather the themes. Key findings: Within the six selected papers the themes of fear, medicalisation and autonomy were identified (Martin et al 2013, Fleming et al 2014, Bessett & Murawsky 201 8, De Benedictis et al 2019, Vitek & Ward 2019, Smith 2021). Television was found to portray birth as a highly medicalised, fearful process whereby women were passive and had no control over their care. This impacted women's perceptions and expectations of birth accordingly, where labour especially medicalised birth was feared and women felt they had little control in the intrapartum period, so consequently relinquished their autonomy, as they believed medicalisation of their care was safest for themselves and their babies. Conclusion: Overall, from this literature review, it appears that television portrays birth as a scary, dangerous event and so increases women's fear. However, from the review, it is also not entirely understood if television impacts on women's autonomy and the of medicalisation expected during intrapartum care. |
