抄録

The present study was conducted to evaluate and compare maternal experiences among women from Japan and Tanzania, especially in terms of related customs, beliefs and practices, to gain an understanding of women's cross-cultural ability to face pregnancy and childbirth, through semi-structured interview. Our results demonstrated that when and if utilized appropriately, traditional wisdoms regarding, for example protection against and handling of complications, can play a significant role in improving and maintaining health of women during maternity in Tanzania. However, it is at the same time necessary to mobilize the community to rid of norms and practices which may negatively affect health of women, and establish an environment that support women making their own decisions about pregnancy and childbirth.
