Abstract

Introduction: Pregnancy-induced hypertension is a common obstetric complication, resulting in an increasing disability rate and maternal and fetal deaths.

Research objectives To examine factors influencing partner involvement in caring for pregnant women with pregnancy-induced hypertension.

Research methodology: This study is predictive correlational design. A sample group of 85 partners of pregnant women was selected using a specific purposive sampling method. The research tools included 5 questionaries and 1 test: 1) personal information, 2) partner involvement, 3) pregnancy attitude, 4) marital relationship, and 5) perception of ability questionnaires; and pregnancy knowledge tests. The Cronbach's alpha coefficients for the questionnaires 2 - 5 were .95, .73, .87, and .94, respectively. The pregnancy knowledge test utilizes the Kuder-Richardson 20 (KR-20) reliability coefficient, which equals .82. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and stepwise multiple regression.

Results: All of the samples involved in caring for pregnant women with pregnancy-induced hypertension. Among these, 23.50% had moderate partner involvement, and 76.50% had high partner involvement. Stepwise multiple regression analyses revealed that attitude towards pregnancy (ß = .527, p < .001) significantly influenced partner involvement. This factor explained 27.80% (R2 = .278, p < .001) of the variance in partner involvement in caring for pregnant women with pregnancy-induced hypertension.

Conclusions: The sample group showed moderate to high involvement in caring for pregnant women diagnosed with hypertension during pregnancy. The influencing factor on this involvement is the attitude towards pregnancy.

Implications: It is advisable to develop a nursing program aimed at stimulating and promoting positive attitudes towards pregnancy, thereby encouraging greater involvement of partners in the care of pregnant women diagnosed with hypertension during pregnancy.
