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.

Midwives’ perspectives of respectful maternity care during childbirth: A qualitative study

The adoption of respectful maternity care during labor and birth is a complex process which needs both scientific and interpersonal skills of providers. In this regard, identifying the potential barriers and applying effective strategies for implementing respectful maternity care are essential. This study aimed to explore the perceptions of Iranian midwives regarding respectful maternity care during labor and childbirth. This was a qualitative study which was conducted from September-December 2018 in two non-teaching public hospitals in Tehran, Iran. Twenty-four semi-structured interviews were conducted with midwives, who had more than one year work experience in labor and childbirth units, through a purposive sampling method. A content analysis approach was used to analyze the data and identify themes. Three themes were extracted including "showing empathy", "women-centered care" and "protecting rights". Showing empathy reflects that "establishing a friendly relationship" and "being with women". Women-centered care encompassed "keeping women safe" and "participating in decision making". Protecting rights reflected a need for "safeguarding dignity" as well as "giving equal care" and "preparing appropriate environment". Iranian midwives considered respectful maternity care a broader concept than just preventing mistreatment. Providing supportive care through friendly interaction with women was the first step for providing respectful maternity care. Respectful care is also promoted by providing safe care, implementing evidence-based care and involving women in their care as well as by providing an appropriate environment for women, families and caregivers.

Background: The adoption of respectful maternity care during labour and birth is complex process which needs both scientific and interpersonal skills of providers. In this regard, identifying the potential barriers and applying effective strategies for implementing respectful maternity care are essential. This study aimed to explore the perceptions of Iranian midwives regarding respectful maternity care during labour and childbirth.Methods: This was a qualitative study which was conducted from September-December 2018 in two non-teaching public hospitals in Tehran, Iran. Twenty four semi-structured interviews were conducted with midwives, who had more than one year work experience in labor and childbirth units, through a purposive sampling method. The data was analyzed using conventional content analysis approach and managed by MAX QDA 10 software.Results: Three themes were extracted including showing empathy, women-centered care and protecting rights. Showing empathy reflects that establishing a friendly relationship and being with women. Women-centered care indicated keeping women safe and participating in decision making.Protecting rights reflected a need for safeguarding dignity as well as giving equal care and preparing appropriate environment.Conclusions: Iranian midwives considered respectful maternity care a broader concept rather than preventing mistreatment. Providing supportive care through friendly interaction with women was the first step for providing respectful maternity care. Promoting respectful care also should be through performing safe care by implementing evidence-based care and women's involvement in their care as well as appropriate environment for women, families and caregivers.The datasets used and/or analyzed during the current study are available from the corresponding author upon reasonable request.
