“…It had been ascertained that skilled health attendants' level of knowledge could be a contributory factor for the popularity in the use of a non-pharmacological approach to pain management for women in labour 22 . Furthermore, the significant relationship observed between educational qualifications and management of pain using non-pharmacological methods is supported by various authors [28][29][30] . Specifically, Sahile et al 31 stated that professional qualifications were significantly associated with the practice of nonpharmacological labour-pain management methods, and skilled attendants with higher qualifications were 2.87 times more likely to use labour-pain management methods than those who had low level qualifications.…”

INTRODUCTION Skilled health attendants occupy an important position in the management of women's pain during labour. Their professional goal is to ensure safety and minimum pain in labour. It has been revealed that nurse-midwives are deficient in knowledge and practice of pain management during labour. Hence, this study examined skilled health attendants' knowledge and practice of pain management in health care facilities in Ibadan, Nigeria. METHODS A cross-sectional design was used to collect data from 227 skilled health attendants, in the maternity units of the three purposively selected hospitals for 12 weeks. A structured questionnaire and observational check lists were used for data collection. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and significants level was set with p<0.05. RESULTS Results on respondents' level of knowledge revealed that 6% had low knowledge, 40.5% moderate, and 56.8% had a high level. The majority, 79.7%, were registered nurse-midwives (RN/RM) and 90.1% employed reassurance for pain relief. No significant associations were found between respondents' level of education and reassurance, exercise, allay of fear, use of drugs, and TENS (p>0.05). However, there were significant associations between respondents' educational level and rubbing of back/ massage, position change, cold/warm bath, relaxation, and social support (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS It is recommended that seminars and workshops should be organized regularly and assessment tools should be supplied, to enhance effective pain assessment as this will provide adequate and holistic labour-pain management by nurse-midwives.

“…27 There is evidence that continuous support during labour aids the physiological process and improves outcomes-shorter labour with higher rates of spontaneous vaginal birth, decreased usage of intrapartum analgesia, less incidence of CS, increased patient-satisfaction and fewer babies with low five-minute Apgar scores. 28 82.6% of our participants were of the opinion that a birth companion is essential to a labouring woman.…”

“…Interestingly, a Cochrane systematic review concluded that the benefits of support are limited with facility's professional staff as companion. 28 Among barriers to provision of birth-companion besides absence of national or institutional policies on a birth-companion, studies reported infrastructural limitations (concerns over maintenance of asepsis with crowding) as well as negative attitudes and lack of awareness of healthcare providers ( lack of training). 30 Our study participants too pointed out lack of infrastructure and hygiene as impediments.…”

Background: Disrespect and abuse during facility-based childbirth is a global problem with differing driving factors in different contexts. Obstetric Violence (OV) refers to professional deficiencies in maternity care. The objective of this study was to assess knowledge and attitudes towards OV in a cohort of members of the obstetric healthcare team at a tertiary care, teaching hospital in Western India (Mumbai).Methods: A questionnaire-based study involving 80 participants comprising of trainee doctors and faculty, nursing students, staff and teachers from the department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology and hospital administration.Results: 57.97% of participants had heard the term ‘Obstetric violence’ earlier. 75.36% reported verbal abuse as a form of OV, others being physical abuse, non-consented care, discriminatory care, abandonment/neglect or refusal of care and imposition of interventions without scientific basis. 53% and 89.8% of the participants did not consider routine episiotomies and artificial rupture of membrane respectively as forms of OV. 84.06% and 59.4% of participants considered instrumental delivery without consent and Caesarean section citing safety/convenience respectively as forms of OV. 82.6% participants endorsed the need of birth companion. Improving the number and training of healthcare providers and better institutional policies on respectful maternity care were suggested as solutions.Conclusions: Majority of the participants had witnessed some form of OV. The need for practical training of healthcare personnel and better infrastructure in the healthcare system were emphasised, but there appeared to be a lack of consciousness of the paternalistic mindset and approach to women in labour. Soft skills training of healthcare providers with emphasis on key ethical principles like autonomy, respect and dignity is crucial to address the issue of OV.

“…Empati dan dukungan merupakan kebutuhan perempuan dalam persalinan. Penelitian Hodnett (2012) menyebutkan perempuan yang memperoleh dukungan selama proses persalinan memiliki waktu persalinan lebih singkat, lebih sedikit mendapatkan anestesi serta lebih banyak melahirkan pervaginam secara normal (Hodnett et al, 2012). Pengalaman positif perempuan selama proses persalinan dan kelahiran memiliki kaitan dengan adaptasi perannya menjadi ibu serta perasaan positif terhadap bayinya, pengalaman traumatis dapat mempengaruhi kemampuan menyusui, pengabaian dan pelecehan anak serta ikatan emosional yang kurang baik terhadap anak (Goodman et al, 2004).…”
