“…Another tool, mother on Respect index (MOR), has been designed by Vedam et al (2017) focused on mother-provider interaction and women’s sense of comfort and experiences of discrimination [ 24 ]. In Iran, there are two questionnaires that asses woman’s experience of RMC [ 25 , 26 ]. The first relevant questionnaire was developed by Taavoni et al (2018) based on seven categories of WHO on RMC.…”

Background The absence of Respectful Maternity Care (RMC) deters mothers from seeking maternity care services. Given the importance of RMC and the lack of a standard tool for its assessment in Iran, the present study was conducted to translate and assess the psychometric properties of the RMC questionnaire in Iranian women. Methods Forward-backward method was used for translating the questionnaire from English into Persian. A total of 265 postpartum women entered the study by simple random sampling from public and private hospitals in Tabriz, Iran. The validity of the questionnaire was confirmed through the face, content and construct validity. Construct validity was assessed through exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. The internal consistency and test-retest reliability were used to confirm the reliability of the questionnaire. Internal consistency was examined by measuring the Cronbach’s alpha in a sample of 20 mothers, and test-retest stability by calculating the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) in the same group of mothers, who had completed the questionnaire twice with a two-week interval. Results The exploratory factor analysis led to the extraction of one factor. Item 12 was eliminated due to its low factor loading. X2/df was less than 5, and RMSEA was less than 0.08, which confirms the validity of this model. The Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was obtained as 0.93 and ICC (with 95% confidence interval) as 0.98 (0.96 to 0.99). Conclusion The results of the study demonstrated that the Iranian RMC scale can be used as a valid and reliable instrument to assess RMC in Iran.

“…The domains include individual, interpersonal, managerial and structural factors affecting RMC [ 8 ]. The domains of MKP-RMC scale are relatively in accordance with the scales which have developed to assess women’s experience of RMC [ 23 – 25 ] Recently, Ayoubi et al, (2020) developed the Women's Perception of Respectful Maternity Care scale (WP-RMC) in Iran with three domains, including providing comfort, participatory care and mistreatment [ 23 ]. Sheferaw et al, (2016) in Canada also developed a scale with four domains which include friendly, abuse-free, discrimination-free and timely care [ 24 ].…”

Objective To develop a scale for evaluating knowledge and practice of midwives on Respectful Maternity Care (RMC). Methods An exploratory sequential mixed method study was conducted from January 2018 to July 2019 in two non-teaching public hospitals in Tehran, Iran. In the first part of the study, a literature review and qualitative study were carried out in order to develop the preliminary item pool. Then face, content and construct validity and reliability (internal consistency and test-retest) were assessed. Results The MKP-RMC scale has 23-item in knowledge and 23-item in practice section that loaded in three factors: Giving emotional support, providing safe care and preventing mistreatment. Exploratory factor analysis accounted for 43.47% and 58.62% of observed variance in knowledge and practice sections, respectively. The internal consistency and internal correlation coefficient of both section of MKP-RMC indicated acceptable reliability. Conclusion The MKP-RMC is a valid and reliable tool for measuring midwives' knowledge and practice of respectful care during labor and childbirth. The MKP-RMC could be used in maternity services to evaluate and improve quality of childbirth care through development of educational interventions for effective behavioral change. Confirmation of validity and reliability of translated version of the scale in other maternity care providers and different contexts is recommended.
