BackgroundWhat constitutes respectful maternity care (RMC) operationally in research and programme implementation is often variable.ObjectivesTo develop a conceptualisation of RMC.Search strategyKey databases, including PubMed, CINAHL, EMBASE, Global Health Library, grey literature, and reference lists of relevant studies.Selection criteriaPrimary qualitative studies focusing on care occurring during labour, childbirth, and/or immediately postpartum in health facilities, without any restrictions on locations or publication date.Data collection and analysisA combined inductive and deductive approach was used to synthesise the data; the GRADE CERQual approach was used to assess the level of confidence in review findings.Main resultsSixty‐seven studies from 32 countries met our inclusion criteria. Twelve domains of RMC were synthesised: being free from harm and mistreatment; maintaining privacy and confidentiality; preserving women's dignity; prospective provision of information and seeking of informed consent; ensuring continuous access to family and community support; enhancing quality of physical environment and resources; providing equitable maternity care; engaging with effective communication; respecting women's choices that strengthen their capabilities to give birth; availability of competent and motivated human resources; provision of efficient and effective care; and continuity of care. Globally, women's perspectives of what constitutes RMC are quite consistent.ConclusionsThis review presents an evidence‐based typology of RMC in health facilities globally, and demonstrates that the concept is broader than a reduction of disrespectful care or mistreatment of women during childbirth. Innovative approaches should be developed and tested to integrate RMC as a routine component of quality maternal and newborn care programmes.Tweetable abstractUnderstanding respectful maternity care – synthesis of evidence from 67 qualitative studies.

Introduction All over the world, healthcare team members are recommended to respect patients’ human dignity. However, the dignity of hospitalized patients is not preserved in many cases. Due to the abstract, complex, and cultural nature of the concept of human dignity, further studies are required to precisely determine the different aspects of this concept. Purpose The aim of the present study was to explore the experiences and perceptions of physicians, nurses, family caregivers, and hospitalized patients with regard to patient dignity in Iranian clinical setting. Materials and Methods This is a qualitative, exploratory study in which physicians, nurses, family caregivers, and patients were recruited from 2 educational hospitals located in an urban area in Iran from April 2016 to February 2017 using the purposive sampling method (n = 24). Data were collected through individual interviews and subsequently analyzed using conventional content analysis in the software MAXQDA 2007, VERBI O `. Results Three major themes emerged from analyses of the data obtained from the interviews: a peaceful environment, respect, and comprehensive support. Conclusion From the participants’ point of view, in order for their dignity to be preserved, patients need to be hospitalized in a peaceful environment in which they are treated with empathy, they receive comprehensive support, and the care settings are managed properly. Furthermore, it is important to respect patient’s values and beliefs, to provide unbiased care and treatment, and to maintain patient’s autonomy in order to maintain hospitalized patients’ dignity.

“…A number of studies have been published in the last decade that explore incorporating speci c competencies or pedagogical interventions in medical, nursing or midwifery study programs to improve the quality of woman-professional interactions during the perinatal period (18,19,(28)(29)(30)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27). Most of these studies are surveys conducted among education experts and programme directors, with particular attention to training needs in relation to dignity, respect (27,30) and perinatal mental health (20). Regarding undergraduate students, some authors have proposed interprofessional education initiatives, involving midwives and nurses as teachers to develop communication and support skills (18,29).…”

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study is to report on the validation process of the Spanish version of a questionnaire that explores health science students’ attitudes towards women’s childbirth experiences. This questionnaire could help inform education programs to enhance the quality of woman-professional interactions, and to improve women’s experiences of childbirth. METHODS: A standardised procedure for the development and validation of the questionnaire included: item development and psychometric pre-validation, Cronbach’s Alpha and split-half coefficients calculation, test–retest and item-total correlation for the reliability analysis. Content validity was undertaken by Delphi method with sixteen panelists over two rounds. We determined the factor structure and refined and validated the questionnaire according to the responses of a cohort of 160 students using principal components factor analysis with varimax rotation. RESULTS: A 52-items questionnaire CAVE-st: (acronym for cuestionario de actitudes sobre vivencias y experiencias en el parto) was developed and validated. The questionnaire had a high construct validity, with a Cronbach´s alpha > 0.92. The intraclass correlations (0.80) indicated adequate test–retest reliability. The results of the exploratory factor analysis revealed fourteen latent components that explained more than the 70% of the observed total variance.CONCLUSIONS: The Spanish version of the questionnaire CAVE-st has been developed and validated. Its psychometrics indicate that it is a valid and reliable tool to assess health sciences students’ attitude towards women´s childbirth experience. Further work to translate and adapt the instrument in other cultures and languages will be undertaken.
