In order to assess the function of the beginning family, 55 womens of primigravida who admitted in a general hospital for delivery were requested to answer questions about the recent life event. After then we analyzed the amount of stress during the 'period of formation' and the contents of the frequent life event.
The stress amount of dual-career family was higher than that of orthers. Highly ranked 10 stressful life events during the 'period of formation' were moving(43%), examination of employment and promotion, addition of new family members(36% respectively), marital discord, new experience of religion, new friendship(29% respectively), success in business of the householoder, increment of income(25% respectively), death of a near relation, and abortion(22% respectively).
