This chapter moves on from the case study material for the four women presented in Chapter 8 and the quantitative findings relating to pregnancy ‘outcome’ discussed in Chapter 9 to attempt a synthesis of how all the women in the study regarded their participation in it. A critical focus of this part of the analysis is the notion of risk. The women who took part in the Social Support and Pregnancy Outcome study were not only exposed to the ‘risk’ of taking part in research, they had been identified as ‘at risk’ in the narrowly biological sense of having already given birth to at least one baby weighing less than 2500 g. In using a quantifiable measure of risk derived from the medical domain, the study thus participated in a particular conceptualization of women and motherhood — one which prioritizes a set of meanings attached to motherhood by people other than mothers themselves.

This chapter presents an argument about both the narrow and the wider meanings of the Social Support and Pregnancy Outcome study. It addresses the question of findings within three contexts. The first context is that of previous work on social support and health, and of the relations between social and material support; in other words, does befriending pregnant women make sense when their greatest enemy is not lack of social support but inadequate material resourcing of motherhood? The second context is the cultural treatment of women and reproduction; here the question is about the implications of the study for the routine provision of maternity care. The third context relates to the question of who listens, and attends, to the results of research; because of the problematic nature of this part of the process, the question is: does research make any difference to the ‘real’ world anyway?

The chapter presents four case studies, selected from a possible total of 509, according to the following criteria: (1) there should be one from each of the four geographical areas included in the Social Support and Pregnancy Outcome study; (2) they should be selected from the intervention group, in order to give a fuller picture of just what ‘giving social support’ means; and (3) they should exemplify and expand on a number of critical themes both within the study and outside it. These themes concern the social and medical construction of women's reproductive bodies and social selves. Particular issues relate to the appropriation of women's domestic labour by the privatized family; the material (under)resourcing of women as mothers; the commodification of the female body and of reproduction by the medical system; and the ownership of expert knowledge about reproduction and motherhood.

The Social Support and Pregnancy Outcome study had its origins in six sets of observations about social relations. This chapter expands these six observations as a prelude to describing the background and beginnings of the study. Among these observations are that science, including medical science, may be regarded as a ‘social’ product — its content and practice reflect the social backgrounds and motives of its practitioners, rather than existing in some pure, uncontaminated, ahistorical mode; the professional ideologies, status, and organization of the medical profession militate against recognition of the universe and impact of the ‘social’ in health care; and social support is good for health.

Cancer is the second higest reason of death in the age range of children after an accident. Children who are diagnosed with cancer will certainly limit the activities normally carried out by their age. This is because their time is passed a lot to go through the treatment process that is not short. Therefore, children with terminal disease need support from the closest people who accompany them in the treatment process.

Research Findings

Whereas Chapter 11 examined what the Social Support and Pregnancy Outcome (SSPO) project can be said to have achieved in the way of research ‘findings’, this chapter broadens the framework of discussion to questions about the status of knowledge and methodologies of inquiry. It attempts to locate the SSPO study within the paradigm of the cultural turning-point referred to earlier — as an instance in the reworking of approaches to knowledge which characterizes intellectual debate in the latter part of the twentieth century. One way to approach this broader task from the specifics of the SSPO study is to ask what kind of methodology it is that combines the approach of a randomized controlled trial with that of ‘qualitative’ interviews.

Childbearing Women

Among the social origins of the Social Support and Pregnancy Outcome study, as described in Chapter 1, was the idea that social support is good for health. This chapter attempts to draw together ideas, insights, and problems from disparate areas of sociology, psychology, psychiatry, history, epidemiology, and medicine to address the question: why, in the first place, should anyone suppose that social support can be helpful to childbearing women and their families? The discussions cover the health outcomes influenced by social support; the link between social support and reproduction; how social support works; and the research challenge posed by the certain hostility of modern medicine towards the role of social factors in influencing patterns of health and illness.
