dc.description.abstractThe current study aims to explore the perceptions and socio-cultural beliefs amongst Xhosa speaking people in relation to perinatal distress. A sample of 20 participants was selected in Cape Town. A grounded theory method of study was used to develop hypotheses relating to perinatal distress. Semi-structured interviews were conducted. The interview material was analysed using the grounded theory method. The findings of the study indicated that within the Xhosa speaking community distress during pregnancy, childbirth and the post-partum period appears to be understood in relation to unavailability of resources such as finance and partner support. The overall conclusion was that in the presence of these resources, a woman might not experience distress.en_ZA
