Abstract

Women’s perceptions of the childbirth experience vary widely depending on the cultural context. The quality of care a childbearing woman receives is deeply influenced by the cultural understanding the nurse brings to their health care interaction. The purpose of this study was to examine the childbirth experiences of Chinese women living in Utah. It builds on a previous study with Chinese women living in China conducted by the researcher last year.
