임신주령과 진통 및 분만의 진행정도에 따른 정상 임부의 혈청 CRP치의 동태를 파악하기 위해서 1992년 3월 1일 부터 1993년 8월 31일 까지 18개월간 영남대학교 의과대학 부속병원 산부인과에서 임신 20주에서 44주 사이의 건강한 임부 521명을 대상으로 혈청 CRP치를 측정하여 임신 주령과 진통의 유무, 양막의 파열여부 및 분만의 진행정도에 따라 비교 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 혈청 CRP치 0.8mg/dl 이상과 2.0mg/dl 이상을 나타낸 임부의 빈도는 각각 12%(61/521)와 4%(22/521)이었다. 2. 임신주령 37주이하의 만삭전 임부군과 38주 이상의 만삭 임부군, 양막 파열 임부군과 비파열 임부군, 자궁경관 개대 3cm이하 임부군과 4cm 이상 임부군의 비교에서 혈청 CRP치 0.8mg/dl 이상과 2.0mg/dl 이상을 나타낸 임부의 빈도는 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다. 3. 진통이 없는 임부군과 진통중인 임부군의 비교에서 혈청 CRP치 0.8mg/dl 이상을 나타낸 임부의 빈도는 각각 5.93%와 13.73%로 통계적으로 유의한 차이(p<0.05)가 있었으나 혈청 CRP치 2.0mg/dl 이상을 나타낸 임부의 빈도는 차이가 없었다. 4. 임신주령 37주 이하의 만삭전 임부군에서 혈청 CRP치 0.8mg/dl 이상을 나타낸 임부의 빈도는 진통중인 임부군이 23.64%로 진통이 없는 임부군의 4.69% 보다 현저히 높았으며(p<0.001), 혈청 CRP치 2.0mg/dl 이상을 나타낸 임부의 빈도도 진통중인 임부군과 진통이 없는 임부군이 각각 12.73%와 3.13%로 통계적으로 유의성 있는 차이(p<0.05)가 있었다. 임신주령 38주 이상의 만삭 임부군에서 진통이 없는 임부군과 진통중인 임부군을 비교하여 혈청 CRP치 0.8mg/dl 이상과 2.0mg/dl 이상을 나타낸 임부의 빈도는 통계적으로 유의성 있는 차이가 없었다. 이상 본 연구의 결과를 종합하면 임부의 감염을 조기 예측하는데 있어 기왕에 조기진통 임부에서 임상적 감염의 지표로 이용되고 있는 혈청 CRP치 2.0mg/dl은 진통중인 만삭임부에서도 양막파열 여부와 분만의 진행정도와 무관하게 유용한 것으로 추정되며, 조기진통 임부의 처치시 혈청 CRP치가 0.8mg/bl 이상인 경우 임부의 불현성 감염을 의심하여야 할 것으로 생각된다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the types of the causal perception of preterm labor. Method: The research design was a Q-Methodological Approach. Thirty four selected Q-statements from 32 participants were classified into a shape of normal distribution using a 9 point scale. The collected data was analyzed using a QUANL PC program. Result: Three types of causal perception for research subjects were identified. Type I is negligence of causality; Type II is recognition of causality by preceding factors. Type III is recognition of causality by psychological stress. Conclusion: This study found that there are differences in perceiving causes of preterm labor. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a tailored nursing intervention depending on these types.

Purpose: The Purpose of this study was to investigate relationships between maternal fetal attachment and state anxiety for pregnant women in preterm labor. Methods: The subjects consisted of 56 pregnant women in preterm labor on C hospital. The data were analyzed using SPSS computer program that includes descriptive statistics, mean, standard deviation, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe? test and Pearson correlation coefficient. Results: Age distribution was 30~39 years of age. Mean score of maternal fetal attachment was 91.50. The group whose planned pregnancy was highest showed higher maternal fetal attachment. The primigravida group showed high maternal fetal attachment. Most frequently practiced attachment item was: "I'm really looking forward to seeing what the baby looks like". The next was was: "I enjoy watching my tummy jiggle as the baby kicks inside". There was no difference in degree of anxiety by general and obstetrical characteristics. There was statistically significant of negative correlation between maternal fetal attachment and state anxiety for pregnant women with preterm labor. Conclusion: Findings provide useful information for further studies in reducing anxiety and intervention programs relating to pregnancy and preterm labor. To increase maternal fetal attachment of pregnant women with preterm labor, it is necessary to standardize prenatal education program.

Purpose: To identify risk factors for premature birth among premature obstetric labor women. Methods: Participants were 129 hospitalized women who were diagnosed with potential premature obstetric labor with 20 weeks to 37 weeks of gestation. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, $x^2$ test, t-test, and binary logistic regression. Results: Of 129 women, 78(60.5%) gave premature birth and 51 (39.5%) gave full-term birth. Risk factors for premature birth were education level (${\leq}$bachelor's degree), abnormal bowel condition (constipation or diarrhea), time firstly diagnosed with a premature obstetric labor (below 28 weeks of pregnancy), and multiple pregnancy. There were also increased risks of premature birth for participants with high level of anxiety and high level of prenatal stress. In social support, there was an increased risk of premature birth for participants with low level of social support. Conclusion: Prenatal nursing programs should consider not only psychosocial factors such as anxiety, prenatal stress, and social support, but also some general and obstetric factors such as education level, abnormal bowel condition, time firstly diagnosed with a premature obstetric labor, and multiple pregnancy to increase maternal and child health.
