Background: Respect to women's autonomy in vaginal child birth is a key factor of maternity care. Engaging women in decisionmaking in vaginal delivery helps women have a positive experience of delivery. Objectives: In this content analysis of qualitative study we explored experiences of mothers and midwives in women's role in normal vaginal childbirth. Methods: This study was conducted in 2013 -2014 in Iran. Overall 23 women and midwives were evaluated in this study. Data collected from 12 women and 11 midwives via in-depth semi structured interviews. Participants were selected from governmental and private hospitals in Mashhad and Kerman, Iran. Data analysis was performed using conventional content analysis with MAXqda software (version, 2007). Results: Mothers' and midwives' experiences about women's role in vaginal childbirth could be organized and categorized in one theme, referred to "Empowerment of women in vaginal childbirth". This theme consists of two subthemes: "attempts to exhibit self-assertion" and "quest for information" and four categories of compromise with the labor process, cooperation with midwife, finding delivery sources during pregnancy and seeking delivery information in labor. Conclusions: Attention to women active role in vaginal child birth could improve women experience of vaginal delivery.

BackgroundIn many low- and middle-income countries women are encouraged to give birth in clinics and hospitals so that they can receive care from skilled birth attendants. A skilled birth attendant (SBA) is a health worker such as a midwife, doctor, or nurse who is trained to manage normal pregnancy and childbirth. (S)he is also trained to identify, manage, and refer any health problems that arise for mother and baby. The skills, attitudes and behaviour of SBAs, and the extent to which they work in an enabling working environment, impact on the quality of care provided. If any of these factors are missing, mothers and babies are likely to receive suboptimal care.ObjectivesTo explore the views, experiences, and behaviours of skilled birth attendants and those who support them; to identify factors that influence the delivery of intrapartum and postnatal care in low- and middle-income countries; and to explore the extent to which these factors were reflected in intervention studies.Search methodsOur search strategies specified key and free text terms related to the perinatal period, and the health provider, and included methodological filters for qualitative evidence syntheses and for low- and middle-income countries. We searched MEDLINE, OvidSP (searched 21 November 2016), Embase, OvidSP (searched 28 November 2016), PsycINFO, OvidSP (searched 30 November 2016), POPLINE, K4Health (searched 30 November 2016), CINAHL, EBSCOhost (searched 30 November 2016), ProQuest Dissertations and Theses (searched 15 August 2013), Web of Science (searched 1 December 2016), World Health Organization Reproductive Health Library (searched 16 August 2013), and World Health Organization Global Health Library for WHO databases (searched 1 December 2016).Selection criteriaWe included qualitative studies that focused on the views, experiences, and behaviours of SBAs and those who work with them as part of the team. We included studies from all levels of health care in low- and middle-income countries.Data collection and analysisOne review author extracted data and assessed study quality, and another review author checked the data. We synthesised data using the best fit framework synthesis approach and assessed confidence in the evidence using the GRADE-CERQual (Confidence in the Evidence from Reviews of Qualitative research) approach. We used a matrix approach to explore whether the factors identified by health workers in our synthesis as important for providing maternity care were reflected in the interventions evaluated in the studies in a related intervention review.Main resultsWe included 31 studies that explored the views and experiences of different types of SBAs, including doctors, midwives, nurses, auxiliary nurses and their managers. The included studies took place in Africa, Asia, and Latin America.Our synthesis pointed to a number of factors affecting SBAs’ provision of quality care. The following factors were based on evidence assessed as of moderate to high confidence. Skilled birth attendants reported that they were not always...

Background/Aims Assessing maternal satisfaction with care improves healthcare professionals' understanding of women's needs at maternal healthcare services and can encourage future use of hospital-based intrapartum care. This study's aim was to explore predictors of maternal satisfaction with their childbirth experience at health facilities in Phalombe District, Malawi. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted with 254 first-time mothers, recruited using systematic random sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires and analysed using bivariate and multivariate analyses to determine predictors of maternal satisfaction. Results Only half (49.2%) of participants were satisfied with their childbirth experience. Welcoming and encouraging doctors/midwives (P<0.001) and being kept informed during labour (P=0.001) were the main predictors of maternal satisfaction. Conclusions Maternal satisfaction is impacted by a woman's relationship with her care providers and the information imparted during care. To improve maternal satisfaction with care at the study site, there is a need for healthcare providers to improve their interpersonal relationships with labouring women and provide adequate information during care.
