“…These findings are not surprising, as antenatal education and good companionship have been reported to improve women’s satisfaction by helping them have realistic expectations of the experience and teaching them to maintain control during labor. [33,34] However, in the present study, only 27.1% of the participants attended prenatal health education sessions. Regarding the presence of companionship, approximately 90% of the participants reported that they had someone (most commonly their husband) present during the first stage of labor.…”

Background The childbirth experience of women represents a significant aspect of quality care. Due to the lack of a reliable Chinese language tool for assessing childbirth experiences, examples must be adapted from other countries. The aim of this study was to translate an English version of the Childbirth Experience Questionnaire (CEQ) into Chinese and adapt this tool to the Chinese context. Methods A questionnaire validation study was conducted. A forward-backward translation procedure involving the developer of the CEQ was conducted. The data were collected in postnatal wards at 50 birth facilities in 4 regions of Zhejiang Province, China. Women who gave birth vaginally at the investigated facilities during the study period completed an online questionnaire that included the Chinese version of the CEQ (CEQ-C), demographic information and clinical information. Psychometric analyses were performed to assess the internal and content consistency. After subdividing the sample into subsamples, an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were applied to examine the structural validity. Known-group comparisons were performed to assess the discriminant validity. Results Overall, 1747 women participated in this study. The content validity index (CVI) of the CEQ was 0.92. Based on the comments of the experts combined with the statistical results, we removed 3 items related to pain, sense of control and sense of security and changed 3 items to different dimensions. The CFA supported the four dimensions of the CEQ-C (standard root mean square residual (SRMR) = 0.037, root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) = 0.036, comparative fit index (CFI) = 0.966, and Tucker-Lewis index (TLI) = 0.959). Cronbach’s alpha of the CEQ-C was 0.88, and McDonald’s omega value was 0.91. The duration of labor, delivery mode, parity, oxytocin augmentation, pain management, companionship, prenatal education and pain experienced exerted significant effects on the women’s childbirth experiences. Conclusions Although some items performed differently in our analysis comparing the English and Chinese versions of the CEQ, the CEQ-C is reliable and valid. Additionally, the CEQ-C is an easy-to-use and promising tool for measuring childbirth experiences among Chinese women in facility settings that can be used to improve the quality of intrapartum care. Efforts are needed to provide women with respectful, evidence-based intrapartum care to facilitate positive childbirth experiences.

“…Health education delivered through childbirth education (CBE) and preconception/ interconception (P/I) education are critical components of comprehensive reproductive health programming. CBE has positive outcomes for labor including reducing fear, anxiety, and the perception of pain as well as increasing selfefficacy, decision-making, communication with providers and perceived support and control (Akca et al, 2017;Isbir, Inci, Onal, & Yildiz, 2016). Given the unique needs and experiences of women in drug treatment, childbirth education could be especially important.…”

Background and Purpose: Prenatal substance use continues to be a critical public health concern. Integrating reproductive health promotion with addiction treatment is a promising approach to addressing this issue. This study was designed to understand strengths and challenges of a pilot reproductive health program, consisting of preconception/interconception health classes, childbirth education classes, and access to free doula services, for people in addiction treatment. Methods: The study design was a qualitative formative evaluation. Observations of the program (n=9) were conducted along with interviews (n=12) with clients, counselors, and program facilitators. Results: Strengths included a good fit between the program and clients’ needs and commitment to further integrate the program. Challenges included inconsistent participation and issues of facilitator selection and training. Barriers were noted related to the complex and chaotic lives of the clientele. Techniques to address inconsistent participation through mandated attendance as well as rotating and reviewing content showed mixed success. Conclusion: The study found the program to be well-regarded by stakeholders, but several structural challenges were identified. Future programs should strive for greater integration between treatment providers and reproductive health facilitators. Research is also needed to assess the effectiveness of providing integrated reproductive health education to clients engaged in addiction treatment.

Introducción: la percepción de los usuarios de un servicio de salud es una de las técnicas para medir la calidad del mismo. Objetivos: determinar el nivel de satisfacción de las pacientes egresadas del Departamento de Gineco-Obstetricia del Hospital Nacional en 2018. Metodología: se aplicó el cuestionario SERVQUAL a las mujeres egresadas del Servicio de Ginecología y de Obstetricia entre agosto y septiembre del 2018. Resultados: ingresaron al estudio 203 pacientes con edad media 31±11 años. La media del cuestionario fue 5,3±0,5. Aplicando el percentil 60, la frecuencia de satisfacción se observó en 82 pacientes (40%). Los puntos fuertes del Dpto. de Gineco-Obstetricia fueron las dimensiones capacidad de respuesta y seguridad mientras que el punto más débil fue la dimensión tangibilidad (aspectos de las salas, señalizaciones y comidas servidas). No se detectó ningún factor de riesgo asociado significativamente a la insatisfacción.
