“…The conclusions drawn from the analysis of data related to satisfaction with care make theoretical and practical sense and are consistent with the literature. Several researchers reported that satisfaction was related to participation in care (Davenport-Slack & Boylan, 1974; Humenick & Buegen, 1981;Kieffer, 1980;Sullivan & Beeman, 1981), birthing room environment (Schmidt, 1980), and nursing care (Schmidt, 1980;Shields, 1978). Maintenance of family integrity also was an important component of satisfaction (Kieffer, 1980;Scaer & Korte, 1978;Schmidt, 1980;Sullivan & Beeman, 1980).…”
