“…In this study, mothers were more satisfied than partners in the overall service of the hospital. This result is in line with other studies [24][25][26]. According to some evidences, level of satisfaction is affected by level of education and economic status where the higher the economic level and educational status, the lower is the level of satisfaction and vice-versa which may be the reason to explain this finding since Ethiopia is one of the country with poor economic status and low level of education.…”

“…The logistic regression analysis was adapted in order to identify important predictors and variables with p-value less than 0.05 was interpreted as significant factors. Most of the categorical variables have two category and the last categories were selected as a reference group and interpreted as like a unit difference because of within the category there is no that much significant difference and in logistic regression analysis when significant difference was not observed between the category, no need of selecting reference [25].…”

“…Asking patients what they perceive about the care and treatments provided is a significant step towards improvement of the quality of care if it is culminated towards solving the identified patient complaints [3].

Background: Asking patients/clients what they perceive about the care and treatment they have received is one of the important steps towards improving the quality of health care. In the scientific world, a number of efforts have been tried to understand about what laboring mothers perceive about the care provided. However, little is known about the birth experiences of partners in Ethiopia. Therefore, this study was aimed to assess the maternal and partner's level of satisfaction on the delivery room service in the study area. Methods: A comparative cross-sectional study was conducted from December 2018 to January 2019 in University of Gondar referral hospital. The birth satisfaction scale is used for the mother, and it was adapted to the partners' perspective. Paired-samples t tests were used for comparing mothers and partners for the birth satisfaction scales global and thematic scores. A binary logistic regression model was fitted to identify predicting factors for mothers' and partners satisfaction. Results: The overall satisfaction of mothers in this study was 47.6%. Whereas, 41.2% of partners were satisfied by delivery room services. There were mean difference between mothers and partners' birth satisfaction scale (p = 0.02). Maternal satisfaction scale was affected by age [OR = 0.36, 95%CI (0.18, 0.73)], perception [OR = 0.02, 95%CI (0.001,0.09)], waiting time [OR = 0.11, 95%CI (0.001, 0.09)],visiting mode [OR = 0.01, 95%CI (0.001,0.08)], pregnancy status [OR = 0.04, 95%CI (0.01,0.33)] and fatal outcome [OR = 0.001, 95%CI (0.001,0.018)] .whereas, partners satisfaction was associated with age [OR = 0.16,95%CI (0.05 0.49)], occupational status [OR = 0.02, 95%CI (0.001, 0.24), amount of money to pay for service [OR = 2.87, 95%CI (1.07, 7.71), visiting mode of his wife [OR = 0.08, 95%CI (0.01, 0.35)], waiting time [OR = 0.12, 95%CI (0.04, 0.33)], privacy [OR = 10.61, 95%CI (3.00, 37.52)], mode of delivery of his wife [OR = 7.69, 95%CI (3.00, 19.69)]. Conclusion: This finding would alert the health care system to design a client-friendly approach. It will provide insight to hospital administrators and providers in formulating a policy that would enhance the support of partners during labour and delivery process.

“…Women's satisfaction with the childbirth experience has been associated with personal control during childbirth. [1] A positive birth experience has been associated with an increased mother-child bond and maternal abilities, [2] as well as with high levels of positive psychological functioning in the three months after childbirth. [3] It has been reported, on the other hand, that an unsatisfactory childbirth experience may contribute to postnatal depression, [4] a strong predictor of impairments in mother-infant bonding.…”

Objective: To analyze the relationship between self-efficacy expectancies, the use of coping behavior strategies during labor and satisfaction after childbirth. Methods: A quantitative observational design was applied as part of a correlational study conducted in the maternity unit of a Hospital Complex that welcomes nearly 4,000 births each year at Vigo, Spain, between 2014 and 2015. A total of 276 low-risk pregnant women were recruited to undertake a self-assessment of their childbirth experience at two stages: within the last three months of pregnancy and within two weeks after labor. Data were collected through the Childbirth Self-Efficacy Inventory to measure self-efficacy expectancies as well as coping, along with a 6 items, 10-point Likert scale to measure satisfaction after childbirth. Results and conclusions: Pearson product-moment correlation supported the positive association of self-efficacy expectancies scores with coping during labor. Multivariate regression analysis also revealed gains in satisfaction after childbirth associated with coping during labor. Women with larger scores in self-efficacy were found to use coping strategies during labor, had a more positive evaluation of the childbirth experience and showed significant gains in satisfaction after childbirth. The study supports the efforts of healthcare professionals to increase satisfaction with the childbirth experience by helping to enhance self-efficacy and coping in pregnant women.

Childbirth is a unique and powerful experience in a woman's life.Childbirth dissatisfaction reduces maternal desire for subsequent pregnancies (Rashidian et al., 2019) or increases the interval between them (Gottvall & Waldenstrom, 2002). In previous studies, several variables have been found to be associated with childbirth satisfaction including planned pregnancy, planned childbirth (Tadele et al., 2020), women's knowledge of labour, low-intensity labour pain (Jafari et al., 2017), short labour (Fumagalli et al., 2021, multiparity, women's participation in maternal care decision-making process (Takacs et al., 2015), giving birth in primary level facilities (Mocumbi et al., 2019) or in private hospitals (Karoni et al., 2020) and empathy of midwives/physicians and respectful behaviour of caregivers
