“…In line with previous reports, our results indicate that most postpartum women are highly satisfied with obstetric care [6,25,[28][29][30]. We found no association between PCD and maternal demographic factors including, socio-economic status, educational level, and parity.…”

“…These variables had some missing data among women who did not complete any of the additional surveys; socio-economic state score (n assess satisfaction, has been validated among Dutch women and takes the unique features of the Dutch obstetric care system into account [18,25]. A limitation of this study is that our sub cohort may suffer from some selection bias due to nonresponse rates, particularly since participants were included from a larger cohort [26].…”

Background: Satisfaction of pregnancy and childbirth is an important quality measure of maternity care. Satisfaction questionnaires generally result in high scores. However, it has been argued that dissatisfaction relies on a different construct. In response to a worldwide call for obstetric care that is more woman-centered, we identified and described the contributors to suboptimal satisfaction with pregnancy and childbirth. Methods: A prospective subcohort of 739 women from a larger cohort (Expect Study I, n ¼ 2614) received a pregnancy and childbirth satisfaction questionnaire. Scores were transformed to a binary outcome whereby a score <100 points corresponded with less satisfied women. We performed a multiple logistic regression analysis to define independent perinatal factors related to suboptimal satisfaction. Results: Decreased perceived personal well-being, antenatal anxiety, and obstetrician-led care during labor were all independently associated with suboptimal pregnancy and childbirth satisfaction. No difference in satisfaction was found between antenatal care led by a midwife or an obstetrician, but midwife-led antenatal care reduced the odds of suboptimal satisfaction compared to women who were transferred to an obstetrician in the antenatal period. Antenatal anxiety was experienced by 25% of all women and is associated with decreased satisfaction scores. Discussion: Screening and treatment of women suffering from anxiety might improve pregnancy and childbirth satisfaction, but further research is necessary. Women's birthing experience may improve by reducing unnecessary secondary obstetric care.

BackgroundWomen’s childbirth experience can have immediate as well as long-term positive or negative effects on their life, well-being and health. When evaluating and drawing conclusions from research results, women’s experiences of childbirth should be one aspect to consider. Researchers and clinicians need help in finding and selecting the most suitable instrument for their purpose. The aim of this study was therefore to systematically identify and present validated instruments measuring women’s childbirth experience.MethodsA systematic review was conducted in January 2016 with a comprehensive search in the bibliographic databases PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, The Cochrane Library and PsycINFO. Included instruments measured women’s childbirth experiences. Papers were assessed independently by two reviewers for inclusion, and quality assessment of included instruments was made by two reviewers independently and in pairs using Terwee et al’s criteria for evaluation of psychometric properties.ResultsIn total 5189 citations were screened, of which 5106 were excluded by title and abstract. Eighty-three full-text papers were reviewed, and 37 papers were excluded, resulting in 46 included papers representing 36 instruments. These instruments demonstrated a wide range in purpose and content as well as in the quality of psychometric properties.ConclusionsThis systematic review provides an overview of existing instruments measuring women’s childbirth experiences and can support researchers to identify appropriate instruments to be used, and maybe adapted, in their specific contexts and research purpose.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12884-017-1356-y) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…As it occurs in other medical fields, through simulation students can improve their individual skills and revalue their errors during the debriefing session. These issues have led to the promotion of simulation in delivery room as an effective tool for the preparation of single operators or multiprofessional teams7 trained to face even the most stressful conditions with a good dose of calm which derives from the possibility of being able to repeat several times the same procedure in non-emergent and non-insecure conditions 8…”

Background The learning process of physiological mechanisms of childbirth and its management are important elements in the education of medical students. In this study, we verify how the use of a high-fidelity simulator of childbirth improves competence of students in this regard. Methods A total of 132 medical students were recruited for the study in order to attend a physiological childbirth in a no-hospital environment after being assigned to two groups. The control group received only a normal cycle of lectures, while the simulation (SIM) group followed a specific training session on the simulator. Subsequently, both groups were assessed for their technical and non-technical skills in a simulated childbirth. Also, a self-assessment test regarding their self-confidence was administrated before and after simulation, and repeated after 8 weeks. Results The SIM group showed better performance in all the domains with a better comprehension of the mechanisms of childbirth, managing and assistance of labour and delivery. In addition, compared to the control group, they presented a better self-related awareness and self-assurance regarding the possibility of facing a birth by themselves. Conclusion The present study demonstrated that the use of a high-fidelity simulator for medical students allows a significant improvement in the acquisition of theoretical and technical expertise to assist a physiological birth.
