“…Studies indicated maternal satisfaction with care provided during labor and childbirth varies in different areas; 67% in Sweden [23], 68.8% in Italy [24] and 49.4% had optimal and 29% had adequate satisfaction in Chile [25,26]. From other studies done in Nepal (86%) [27], Bheri Zonal Hospital Nepal (89.8%) [28], Jordan 17.8% [29], Egypt (78.5%) [30] and 92.5% in southern Mozambique [31] women reported as being satisfied with the care during childbirth.…”

Background: Mothers' satisfaction with care during childbirth is indicators of the quality care which affects skilled birth attendance. Negative client's experiences at health facilities cause them to delay or avoid seeking care, which highlights services providers should consider and act on the expectations and experiences of women and their families. Though there are few studies conducted in Ethiopia on maternal satisfaction with Labor and Delivery (LAD) services, there is no study conducted in the study area. Therefore the study aims to assess the mother's satisfaction with existing LAD services and associated factors at all levels of health care in the West Shewa zone. Methods: An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted at public health facilities in West Shewa zone, Central Ethiopia. A systematic sampling technique was used to select 560 respondents by using their delivery registration number and data were collected through face to face interview. Mothers were considered satisfied if they responded satisfied/very satisfied with 75% or more of the questions assessing satisfaction. Binary and multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to identify associated factors. Results: The overall proportion of mothers who were satisfied with the current LAD care services were 60.8%. The main areas of dissatisfaction were; accessibility and cleanness of toilets/shower 72.6%, overall cleanness of the facility/including waiting-area 40.1% and presence of support a person during birth 38.0%. The presence of cultural practices (AOR = 2.5), discussion on the place of delivery with health worker during ANC (AOR = 1.75), providers asks for consent before procedure (AOR = 2.77), encouraging companion to remain with mother (AOR = 2.22), never leave mother alone or unattended (AOR = 2.56), giving periodic updates on status and progress of labor (AOR = 2.04) and explaining what is being done and to expect during LAD (AOR = 2.20) were factors identified to be significantly associated with satisfaction on LAD services.

“…Since 1995, the World Health Organization (WHO) has developed guidelines to limit the routine episiotomy, stating that only fetal distress is recommended as an indication for episiotomy in obstetric and midwifery guidelines . Complications associated with episiotomy include negative birth experience, unsatisfactory anatomic results, increased postpartum blood loss and pain, discomfort of the wound and sutures, higher rates of infection and dehiscence, urinary incontinence, sexual dysfunction, and possible increased risk of perineal lacerations in subsequent deliveries . Restrictive episiotomy (“only if needed”) is significantly beneficial for women over a routine approach (“part of routine management”).…”

“…The WHO recommends a companion of choice during labor and birth for the improvement of maternal and perinatal outcomes and women's satisfaction with health care services (1). Having a labor companion has been shown to impact positively on women's experience of care (1,11). Given its importance, we attempted to understand the prevalence of this practice in LAC countries.…”

“…Studies were conducted mainly in Brazil, and a few in Chile, where companion of choice is implemented. Women and their companions reported a positive experience, based on feelings of physical and emotional well-being, less fear and pain, and increased self-confidence (9)(10)(11). Health teams also reported a positive experience; however, reluctance to allow companionship was also reported (12)(13)(14).…”

The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends a companion of choice during labor and birth, to improve maternal and perinatal outcomes and women’s satisfaction with health services. To better understand the status of companion of choice in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), an online survey was conducted with members of a midwifery virtual community of practice and with key informants, aiming to identify: 1) existing regulatory instruments related to companion of choice in the countries where the members are practicing; and, 2) key characteristics of implementation of companion of choice, where regulation exists. Responses (n = 112) were received from representatives of 20 of the 43 countries of LAC. Respondents reported existence of a national policy or legislation in seven countries, ministerial norms or institutional protocols in five countries, and no existing policy/protocol in eight countries. Respondents from the same country often provided contradictory responses. Responses differed from information provided by ministries of health in a WHO-led global policy survey in 11 instances. These variations may reflect that midwives were not always aware of the national policy/guideline in their country. We propose that a more robust effort should be undertaken to understand the status of companion of choice for labor and birth in LAC countries, at national, regional, and local level, in public and private facilities. It is important to know if policies exist, at what level of the system, and if key stakeholders, maternity-care health providers, and women are aware of their existence. Efforts should also be made to understand barriers to implementing companion of choice.
