title: [Satisfaction of couples towards birth when using a birthing room or the traditional delivery room.].
abstract: Following a random distribution, two groups of couples, users of the B.R. (birth room) and users of the T. R. (traditional room) were compared in terms of each partner's feeling of satisfaction in relation to the giving birth process. Statistical analysis of the means of the B.R. and T.R. fathers, of the B.R. and T.R. mothers, three days after delivery and three months later, yields the following results : following birth, both fathers and mothers of the B.R. group indicate a higher feeling of satisfaction than the T.R. mothers and fathers in relation to the environment. Mothers of the B.R. and T.R. are equally satisfied in relation to the amount of time spent with their infant, whereas fathers of the B. R. are more satisfied than their spouses and more satisfied than the T.R. fathers. Three months later, the only difference to these above-mentioned results, is the higher degree of satisfaction of B.R. mothers over T.R. mothers in relation to the length of contact with their infant right after birth.
