Uvod: Množični mediji so ena od redkih priložnosti, ko lahko ženska porod vidi, preden ga doživi sama. Porod je v množičnih medijih pogosto prikazan nerealistično, s tem pa vpliva na vedenje in dejanja posameznikov v porodnem procesu. Namen: Namen diplomskega dela je raziskati reprezentacijo poroda v množičnih medijih na podlagi pregleda znanstvene literature, cilj pa ugotoviti kakšen je način reprezentacije poroda v množičnih medijih, kateri dejavniki vplivajo nanjo in kakšne so posledice tovrstne reprezentacije poroda za ženske ter njihove porodne izkušnje. Metode dela: V diplomskem delu je bila uporabljena deskriptivna metoda dela s pregledom strokovne in znanstvene literature, ki obravnava reprezentacijo poroda v množičnih medijih. Znanstveno literaturo smo iskali s funkcijo naprednega iskanja v spletnih bibliografskih podatkovnih bazah DiKUL, EBSCO Information Services, Google Scholar, ProQuest, PubMed, ResearchGate, ScienceDirect in SpringerLink v obdobju od 2. decembra 2021 do 8. marca 2022. Kriteriji izbire so bili vsebinska ustreznost in relevantnost ter polna dostopnost do vsebine virov v slovenskem ali angleškem jeziku, s časom objave med letoma 2012 in 2022. Rezultati: V pregled literature je bilo vključenih 26 raziskav, ki so ustrezale vsem vključitvenim kriterijem. Večina raziskav je bila presečnih, najpogosteje sta bili uporabljeni deskriptivna metoda dela in analiza virov. Reprezentacije poroda v množičnih medijih postavljajo normativ medikaliziranega poroda, alternativne možnosti pa so prikazane redko in nejasno, na kar lahko pomembno vpliva sodelovanje babiške stroke z medijskimi producenti. Množični mediji s svojimi reprezentacijami poroda vplivajo na pričakovanja in odločitve, ki se jih ženske poslužujejo v nosečnosti in med porodom ter v njih pogosto vzbujajo strah. Razprava in zaključek: V prevladujočih reprezentacijah poroda, ki jih ponujajo množični mediji, so prisotne mnoge vrzeli in manjkajoče informacije. Pomembno je ozaveščanje žensk, babiške in porodniške stroke ter medijskih producentov za kritično in odgovorno delovanje na področju reprezentacije poroda v množičnih medijih, s širjenjem verodostojnih in strokovnih informacij, ki bodo ženskam omogočile pozitivne in na znanju temelječe porodne prakse, brez nepotrebnega strahu.

• Title: Childbirth representation in mass media: a scientific literature review : diploma work

Abstract

Introduction: Mass media is one of the few opportunities a woman has to see childbirth before she experiences it by herself. Childbirth in the mass media is often portrayed in an unrealistic way which influences the behaviour and actions of individuals in the birthing process. Purpose: The aim of the thesis is to investigate the representation of childbirth in mass media, based on a review of the scientific literature. The objective is to find out how childbirth is represented in the mass media, what factors influence this representation and what the consequences of this representation of childbirth are for women and their experiences of childbirth. Methods: The descriptive method of work was used in the thesis, focusing on a review of professional and scientific literature of the childbirth representation in the mass media. The online bibliographic databases DiKUL, EBSCO Information Services, Google Scholar, ProQuest, PubMed, ResearchGate, ScienceDirect and SpringerLink were used from December 2nd 2021 to March 8th 2022. The advanced search function was used. The criteria for selecting the scientific literature were relevance and pertinence of the content and full accessibility to the content of the sources in Slovenian or English, with a publication time between 2012 and 2022. Results: The literature review included 26 studies that met all the criteria. Most of the studies were cross-sectional, with descriptive methods and source analysis being the most commonly used. Representations of childbirth in the mass media set the norm for medicalised childbirth, alternatives are rarely and ambiguously portrayed. This may be significantly influenced by midwifery's engagement with media producers. Mass media representations of childbirth influence women's expectations and choices during pregnancy and childbirth and often provoke fear. Discussion and conclusion: There are many gaps and missing information in representations of childbirth, offered by the mass media. It is important to raise awareness among women, midwifery and obstetric professionals and media producers to act critically and responsibly in the field of representation of childbirth in the prevailing mass media, by disseminating credible and expert information that will enable women to have positive and knowledge-based childbirth practices, without unnecessary fear.
