Objective To evaluate the reliability and validity of the pregnancy intention scale which can be used in different pregnancy status in the context of contemporary China.Methods On the basis of the conceptual model of pregnancy intention developed by qualitative research,the measurement of unplanned intention was preliminary established.A total of 438 samples including pregnant (continuing pregnancy and seeking for abortion) and postnatal women recruited from two maternal and child health hospitals in Hubei Province from August 20 to November 25,2016 were surveyed.Internal consistency was assessed using the Cronbach's α Statistic and item-total correlation coefficient,and construct validity was assessed using exploratory factor analysis and hypothesis testing.Results A twelve item measure of pregnancy intention was produced,women's pregnancy intention/planning was represented by the range of scores (0-24).The Cronbaeh'α coefficient of the scale was 0.777,and all item-total correlations were >0.2.Three factors were extracted through exploratory factor analysis,the cumulative variance contribution rate was 51.86%,and all items' factor loadings were >0.4.All hypotheses to test construct validity were met.Conclusion The pregnancy intention scale was reliable,valid,and acceptable for Chinese women.The scale can be used as an effective tool for improving our understanding,quantitative measurement and evaluation of women's pregnancy intention,thus providing better contraception,family planning,and reproductive health service to women.

Objective To explore the influential factors of female pregnancy intention in Wuhan and Huangshi City. Methods Adopting a method of prevalence study, self-administrated questionnaire survey was conducted among women who went to both of city-level maternal and child healthcare hospital in Hubei Province for antenatal care, induced abortion or childbirth from August to November in 2016. We established an ecological theoretical framework to describe the influential factors of the pregnancy intention in terms of individual, interpersonal, institutional, community and policy. Results Results of the univariate analysis showed that age (P=0.027), marital status (P 0.05). Conclusion Female pregnancy intention has association with factors of individual, interpersonal and policy, and the association can be explained preferably with ecological theoretical framework. It is helpful to recognize women with pregnancy intention of different levels and the women can enjoy specific service from obstetrical and health department.

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate women's pregnancy circumstances,to explore the frame of reference and the language used by them in discussing this topic,and to develop an indigenous conceptual model of pregnancy intention scale in China.Methods This qualitative study was carried out in two maternal and child health hospital in Hubei province.In order to investigate women's circumstances before pregnancy,brief surveys and semi-structured were conducted with 40 consenting postpartum and currently pregnancy women.A thematic framework approach was used to analyze the data aud identify key themes about women's pregnancy intention.Results Among the 40 women,34 were in the pregnancy period,and 6 were currently hospital inpatients on the postpartum unit.Some areas related to their motivations towards pregnancy were found:intentions,feelings towards motherhood,number of children to intend,contraceptive use,pregnancy timing,partner's influences,parent's influences,gender preference,and pre-conceptual preparations,Those ten areas were clustered into three domains using the Theory of Planned Behavior:women's stance related to pregnancy,women's behavior,and the context of their lives.Conclusion The results suggested that,from a planned behavior perspective,the current conceptual framework that views pregnancy-related stances and behaviors in Chinese women may be appropriate.The findings could help development of pregnancy intention scale for next step in china.
在城市中,一些核心建筑的周围往往会形成城市公共空间,当原有建筑由于功能退化或其他原因不能适应城市的发展,无法适应新的环境,失去原有的活力时,周边的城市公共空间便会逐渐失落衰败,形成了城市中的模糊地带.本文以汉口大智门火车站及周边地区为例,论述了模糊地带的内涵,分析了模糊地带的更新方式,并为大智门火车站及周边地区的更新再利用提出了几点建议.
