Childbirth and parenting education is a key component of health education in perinatal care. It has its origins in the notion of painless childbirth derived from the Lamaze method, based on an educational model, a behavioral model and a biomedical model. In 2005, the French Health Authority (Haute Autorité de Santé) made a number of recommendations for the clinical practice of childbirth and parenting education. By redefining its objectives and changing its name, and drawing on the principles of both the Ottawa Charter and the concept of health promotion, the French Health Authority has promoted the development of new practices in this area. These changes imply new theoretical models (both educational and health-related), which could potentially lead to a new form of empowerment for women, but also for midwives, who play a key role in childbirth and parenting education.
Manuscrit reçu le 25 mai 2009 ; commentaires éditoriaux formulés aux auteurs le 7 décembre 2009 ; accepté pour publication le 21 décembre 2010 Mots clés :Éducation pour la santé ; périnatalité ; carnet de bord ; récit de vie ; réorganisation identitaire maternelle Résumé -Contexte et problématique : Devenir mère occasionne d'importants remaniements physiologiques chargés d'un potentiel déstabilisant et plus rarement, pathologique. Plusieurs études décrivent les effets bénéfiques de l'utilisation du récit de vie dans des actions d'éducation pour la santé visant le soutien psychologique ou thérapeutique. Objectifs : Cette étude questionne la pertinence de l'utilisation du carnet de bord dans une démarche d'éducation pour la santé en post-partum, visant à soutenir les réaménagements identitaires maternels et à prévenir les difficultés qui peuvent leur être corrélées. Méthodes : Une enquête qualitative a été menée auprès de six femmes pendant trois mois. L'entretien non directif a été utilisé pour le recueil des données et la méthode de l'analyse de contenu pour leur traitement. Résultats et discussion : Les résultats ont permis de catégoriser de nombreux thèmes de la ré-organisation identitaire issus du corpus théorique. Qu'ils soient communs à plusieurs femmes ou propres à une seule, les thèmes sont articulés de façon singulière. Malgré ses limites, le carnet de bord joue un rôle de médiation relationnelle et facilite le centrage sur le « devenir mère » et ses réaménagements. Le récit de vie qu'il occasionne contribue à la réorganisation identitaire. Il justifie ainsi sa pertinence comme outil dans un dispositif d'éducation pour la santé. Keywords:Health education; perinatality; storybook narrative; life story; mother's identity reorganisation Abstract -Context and problematic: Becoming a mother entails significant physiological changes, which potentially could be destabilizing and sometimes pathological. Several studies describe the benefits of using "life story" in the context of health education as a means for psychological or therapeutic support. Aim: This study examines the appropriateness of using a narrative logbook in a post-partum health education process designed to support identity transformations and prevent correlated difficulties. Methods: A three-month qualitative survey was conducted with six women. The non-directive interview was used for data collection while the "content analysis method" was used for processing. Results and discussion: The results helped identify several issues related to identity reorganization, which stems from the theoretical corpus. Whether the issues are common to several women or individual, they are Article publié par EDP Sciences 226 M.-R. Bernard et C. Eymard structured in a specific manner. Despite its limitations, the logbook plays the role of a relational mediation and helps to focus on the "becoming a mother" and its associated reorganization. The life story triggered by the logbook contributes to identity reorganization. As a result, it justifies its relevance as a...
This study helps to more clearly define the diversity of PHE actions implemented by midwives. It also raises the issue of their initial and continuing training in this area and remuneration of PHE actions other than prenatal education.
