Background There is no comprehensive guideline for respectful maternity care (RMC) promotion in Iran. This study aimed to design a RMC guideline based on a multiphase study. Methods In this multiphase mixed-methods study, recommendations were made for RMC promotion through the data obtained from Phase I (i.e., the quantitative section with a cross-sectional design), Phase II (i.e., the qualitative section with a content analysis method), and Phase III (i.e., focus group discussions with birth attendants as well as opinions of the specialized panel through the Delphi technique). The composed recommendations were then analyzed and finalized by relevant specialists in terms of execution capacity, approvability, and cost-effectiveness within the current context of Iran. Eventually, the resultant guideline were evaluated and approved by two members of the research team specializing in the research area in accordance with the Appraisal of Guideline for Research and Evaluation (AGREE). Results The results of this multiphase study led to 80 recommendations for RMC promotion. The recommendations were classified as eight areas called recommendations for the pregnancy period, recommendations for the labor period and delivery, recommendations for the neonatal period, occupational recommendations, supervision recommendations, national policy recommendations, recommendations for training students and staff, and general public recommendations. Discussion Based on the outcomes of disrespect and abuse, it is recommended to provide comprehensive guideline for policymakers and planners to formulate plans through the RMC promotion approach. Healthcare service policymakers can use this guideline to design some interventions to meet women’s financial, psychological, and legal needs.

Sample: 132 of primigravida women were randomly divided into two groups as part of a purposive sample. Tools: Four main tools were used: A Structured interviewing questionnaire, childbirth self-efficacy inventory, numerical rating scale, and childbirth outcomes sheet. Results: Showed that the mean scores for result outcome expectancy and self efficacy expectancy at the pretest did not significantly differ between the study and control groups. However during the posttest and throughout the follow-up phase, there were highly significant differences between the two groups (p=0.000). Additionally, the mean score of labour pain during the 1st and 2nd stage of labour decrease among the study group compared to control groups with highly significant differences (p = 0.001). Based on the method of delivery, intrapartum complications, and duration of labour, there were statistically significant differences between the studied groups (p=0.010, 0.015 and 0.005 respectively). Moreover, the studied groups differed statistically significantly in terms of apgar scores and ICU admissions (p= 0.002 & 0.012 respectively). Furthermore, both the studied groups showed positive correlations among total pain scores, self-efficacy scores, and labour outcomes. Conclusion: The study concluded that birthing coaching sessions improved study group members' self-efficacy in managing labour pain and labour outcomes when compared to control group members.
