"Barriers and facilitators influencing facility-based childbirth in rural Haiti: a mixed method study with a convergent design." BMJ Global Health 5, no. 8 (August 2020): e002526. http://dx.doi.org/10.1136/bmjgh-2020-002526.
IntroductionHaiti has the highest maternal mortality rate in the Western Hemisphere. Facility-based childbirth is promoted as the standard of care for reducing maternal and neonatal mortality. We conducted a convergent, mixed methods study to assess barriers and facilitators to facility-based childbirth at Hôpital Universitaire de Mirebalais (HUM) in Mirebalais, Haiti.MethodsWe conducted secondary analyses of a prospective cohort of pregnant women seeking antenatal care at HUM and quantitatively assessed predictors of not having a facility-based childbirth at HUM. We prospectively enrolled 30 pregnant women and interviewed them about their experiences delivering at home or at HUM.ResultsOf 1105 pregnant women seeking antenatal care at the hospital between May and December 2017, 773 (70%) returned to the hospital for facility-based childbirth. In multivariable analyses, living farther from the hospital (adjusted OR (AOR)=0.73; 95% CI 0.56 to 0.96), poverty (AOR=0.93; 95% CI 0.88 to 0.99) and household hunger (AOR=0.45; 95% CI 0.26 to 0.79) were associated with not having a facility-based childbirth. Primigravid women were more likely to have a facility-based childbirth (AOR=1.34, 95% CI 1.02 to 1.76). Qualitative data provided insight into the value women place on traditional birth attendants (‘matrons’) during home-based childbirths. While women perceived facility-based childbirths as better equipped to handle birth complications, barriers such as distance, costs of transportation and supplies, discomfort of facility birthing practices and mistreatment by medical staff resulted in negative perceptions of facility-based childbirths.ConclusionPregnant women in rural Haiti must overcome substantial structural barriers and forfeit valued support from traditional birth attendants when they pursue facility-based childbirths. If traditional birth attendants could be involved in care alongside midwives at facilities, women may be more inclined to deliver there. While complex structural barriers remain, the inclusion of matrons at facilities may increase uptake of facility-based childbirths, and ultimately improve maternal and neonatal outcomes.

ObjectiveTo investigate associations of morbidity with subsequent sickness absence (SA) and disability pension (DP) among initially nulliparous women with no, one or several childbirths during follow-up.DesignLongitudinal register-based cohort study.SettingSweden.ParticipantsNulliparous women, aged 18 to 39 years and living in Sweden on 31 December 2004 and the three preceding years (n=492 504).Outcome measuresAnnual mean DP and SA days (in SA spells >14 days) in the 3 years before and after inclusion date in 2005.MethodsWomen were categorised into three groups: no childbirth in 2005 nor during the follow-up, first childbirth in 2005 but not during follow-up, and having first childbirth in 2005 and at least one more during follow-up. Microdata were obtained for 3 years before and 3 years after inclusion regarding SA, DP, mortality and morbidity (ie, hospitalisation and specialised outpatient healthcare, also excluding healthcare for pregnancy, childbirth and puerperium). HRs and 95% CIs for SA and DP in year 2 and 3 after childbirth were estimated by Cox regression; excluding those on DP at inclusion.ResultsAfter controlling for study participants’ prior morbidity and sociodemographic characteristics, women with one childbirth had a lower risk of SA and DP than those who remained nulliparous, while women with more than one childbirth had the lowest DP risk. Morbidity after inclusion that was not related to pregnancy, childbirth or the puerperium was associated with a higher risk of future SA and DP, regardless of childbirth group. Furthermore, morbidity both before and after childbirth showed a strong association with SA and DP (HR range: 2.54 to 13.12).ConclusionWe found a strong positive association between morbidity and both SA and DP among women, regardless of childbirth status. Those who gave birth had lower future SA and DP risk than those who did not.

Giving birth at home represents a rising modality of delivery care in the Brazilian society, although in unrepresentative proportion when compared to the number of hospital childbirths. In Brazil, the topic has been broadly discussed by different professional categories, highlighting the safety issue involved in the process. The aim of this theoretical and reflective study was to present a brief overview of the overall care related to home childbirth, also questioning the reality of the contemporary Brazilian obstetric scenario. The scientific literature presents both obstetric and neonatal outcomes as favorable to home childbirth; similar risks when compared to hospital childbirth and higher rates of maternal satisfaction, and these both factors justify its practice. Therefore, a movement of women who are deeply unhappy with the current model of obstetric care is currently observed and they have been opting for home childbirth as a response to institutional violence, fragmentation and depersonalization of hospital care.

"Intercultural Childbirth: Impact on the Maternal Health of the Ecuadorian Kichwa and Mestizo People of the Otavalo Region." Revista Brasileira de Ginecologia e Obstetrícia / RBGO Gynecology and Obstetrics 43, no. 01 (January 2021): 014–19. http://dx.doi.org/10.1055/s-0040-1721353.
Abstract Objective Considering the increased frequency of maternal deaths reported from 2001 to 2005 for Indigenous and mestizo women from the Ecuadorian rural area of Otavalo, where the Kichwa people has lived for centuries, the objective of the present article is to describe how the efforts of the local health community and hospital workers together with a propitious political environment facilitated the implementation of intercultural childbirth, which is a strategy that respects the Andean childbirth worldview. Methods We evaluated a 3-year follow-up (2014–16) of the maternal mortality and the childbirth features (4,213 deliveries). Results Although the Western-style (lying down position) childbirth was adopted by 80.6% of the pregnant women, 19.4% of both mestizo and Indigenous women adopted the intercultural delivery (squatting and kneeling positions). Both intercultural (42.2%) and Western-style (57.8%) childbirths were similarly adopted by Kichwa women, whereas Western-style childbirth predominated among mestizo women (94.0%). After the implementation of the intercultural strategy in 2008, a dramatic decrease of maternal deaths has been observed until now in both rural and urban Otavalo regions. Conclusion This scenario reveals that the intermingling of cultures and respect for childbirth traditions have decreased maternal mortality in this World Health Organization-awarded program.

Background: The incidence of multiple sclerosis (MS) in Denmark has doubled in women since 1970, whereas it has been almost unchanged in men. Objectives: To investigate whether age at first childbirth and number of births have an effect on the risk of developing MS. Methods: The cohort consisted of 1403 patients with MS of both sexes, identified through the Danish Multiple Sclerosis Registry, with clinical onset between 2000 and 2004. For each case, 25 control persons were drawn by random from the Danish Civil Registration System matched by sex, year of birth, and residential municipality. Results: More female cases than controls had no childbirths or fewer births before clinical onset ( p=0.018) but only in the last five years preceding onset ( p<0.0001). Childbirths within five years before clinical onset reduced the risk of MS onset in women: OR=0.54 (95% CI 0.41–0.70, p<0.0001) for one child and OR=0.68 (95% CI 0.53–0.87, p=0.002) for more than one child. Parental age at first childbirth had no effect on the risk of MS. Conclusions: The data did not suggest reversed causality between childbirth and MS.

"Factors associated to the type of childbirth in public and private hospitals in Brazil." Revista Brasileira de Saúde Materno Infantil 17, no. 3 (July 2017): 571–80. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/1806-93042017000300009.
Abstract Objectives: to estimate the prevalence of cesarean sections and factors associated to the type of childbirth in Brazil. Methods: data on childbirths were collected in Brazil in 2014. Demographic characteristics, related to pregnancy and birth hospital regime (public or private) were evaluation. For each hypothesis raised, the variables were modeled by the binary logistic regression, which the outcome was considered in the type of childbirth. Results: the prevalence of the cesarean sections in Brazil in 2014 was 52.8%; that is 38.1% at public hospitals and 92.8% at private ones. The association between cesarean section and the legal regime at the hospital was highlighted in the logistic model which presented a positive association and interaction between age groups (OR = 23.26; 95% CI= 13.39 - 41.79 for women between 20 and 24 years old and OR = 51.04; 95% CI 31.06 - 84.23 for women aged 35 and over). Conclusions: the performance of childbirth in Brazil meets the routines and recommendations regarding women's health and humanized childbirth established by the Brazilian National Health System policies.

This study's objective was to gain a greater understanding of the changes that took place in the childbirth care model from the experience of women who gave birth in the State of Sao Paulo, Brazil from the 1940s to the 1980s. This is a descriptive study conducted with 20 women using the Thematic Oral History method. Data were collected through unstructured interviews. The theme extracted from the interviews was "The experience of childbirth". The results indicate a time and generational demarcation in the 1970s. Childbirths from 1940 to 1960 occurred in a context of transition from home to hospital births. The 1980s represents a turning point in the elements that compose the childbirth care model, such as the type and place of birth and the professional assisting women, with an increased use of technology and obstetric interventions.

Epidural analgesia has increased in usage dramatically in the United States as a means
of comfort for labor pain. Prior studies have connected epidural analgesia to an increase in
cesarean birth rate, an increase in use of instrumentation, an increase in length of labor,
episiotomy rate, and maternal fever. Epidural analgesia has produced additional costs to
the patient and society. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between
epidural analgesia during childbirth and childbirth outcomes. The data for this study were obtained from a retrospective patient record review of 200
systematically selected labor patients who delivered in 2002 at a midwestern hospital. The
epidural analgesia rate was 72% at this facility in 2002, a signi?cant increase from the
previous 5 years. Using the Chi-square test of independence, 3 relationship was established
between epidural analgesia and four of the variables examined. A statistically signi?cant
relationship was found to exist between epidural analgesia and cesarean birth rate, pitocin
augmentation, and the ?rst and second stages of labor with the total sample. The results of
the study are important for healthcare providers who are relaying in?uential wellness
information to childbearing women and their partners. The results indicate a need for further education for healthcare providers on alternative methods of pain relief for their patients during childbirth.

Hutton-Carty, Stephanie. "Trauma following childbirth." Thesis, University of Birmingham, 2007. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.487226.
A review ofthe literature revealed that norsearch to date has focused on women's recovery from post-natal trauma. The aim ofthe current study was to explore the 'lived experience ofrecovery' (Deegan, 1988) using a qualitative approach. A purposive sample ofeleven participants who felt that they had made a partial or fuII recovery after being traumatised by childbirth completed written accounts oftheir recovery. Retrospective assessment ofwomen's PTSD symptoms when they were at their worst indicated that fIve women had met fuII criteria for PTSD according to a checklist based on the Post-traumatic Distress Scale (Foa, 1995), and all nine participants who returned the checklist could be considered as 'partial PTSD'. Analysis ofrecovery stories produced four main themes. Women's recovery was aided by the provision ofvalidation and support and a healing birth experience. Recovery was hindered by items that kept them living the trauma and feelings ofloss. Despite making a partial recovery, some women could not progress further as they continued to feel an intense sense ofloss at not having had their desired 'good' birth experience. This had implications for their mood, behaviour and perception ofthemselves as mothers.

Savage, Jane. "Knowing in Childbirth." ScholarWorks@UNO, 2004. http://scholarworks.uno.edu/td/176.
Research on knowing in childbirth has largely been a quantitative process. The purpose of this study was to better understand the ways nine, first-time mothers learn about birth. A phenomenological approach using a feminist view was used to analyze two in-depth interviews and journals to understand first time expectant mothers' experiences of knowing in childbirth. The findings demonstrated a range of knowledge that contributed to issues of control, confidence, hope, and conflict. The participants also described an increased dependency on their mothers and a lack of intuition contiguous to the birth process. These findings contribute understanding as to how expectant mothers know birth, suggesting that their knowing does not diminish conflict surrounding and may even exacerbate it. Childbirth educators may want to include instruction on negotiating power differential in relationships encountered during childbirth, and to assess the expectant mother's view of birth and her expectations for birth. Schools of nursing should consider the inclusion of women-centered care curricula in schools of nursing at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Clearly, the politics surrounding birthing remain in place and must be removed to provide a supportive environment for normal birth.

The aim of this study was to assess risk factors to PTSD following childbirth incorporating a longitudinal design. Since the introduction of DSM-IV (APA, 1994) there has been an awareness in the literature that women can develop PTSD following childbirth. The first study in this thesis provides a comprehensive review of the literature in this area and the clinical implications of the disorder. The aim of the second study was to investigate the factor structure of a questionnaire measure (PLDQ) that has been used in past studies to assess women's perceptions of labour and delivery. The findings from this study indicate that the PLDQ consists of three internally reliable factors that can assess a woman's perception of pain, staff support/care and fear during labour and delivery. The scale can differentiate among women on these factors according to type of delivery. The aim of the third paper was to assess risk. factors to PTSD across time in the antenatal period, appraisal factors during delivery with the PLDQ, and maintenance factors in the postnatal period. There is an absence of studies in the literature that assess risk factors to PTSD over time. The results of this study indicate that postnatal depression (PND) and a negative appraisal of staff support and care during labour and delivery can predispose women to PTSD at 5-8 weeks following delivery. At 10 -14 weeks the relationship between PTSD and PND was still consistent. The clinical implications of the research are discussed for screening women at risk of PTSD following childbirth, assessment of a woman's appraisal of a difficult labour and delivery and the provision of support in the postnatal period.

Introduction: In Western countries, about one pregnant woman in five experiences a considerable fear of childbirth (FOC). Consequently FOC is an important topic for midwives, being pregnant women’s main care givers. Also, although many aspects of FOC have been studied, almost no studies have into detail applied a theoretical frame of reference for studying pregnant women’s expectations for their upcoming labour and delivery. Therefore, the theory of self-efficacy, here regarding pregnant women’s belief in own capability to cope with labour and delivery, has been applied with the aim to better understand the phenomenon of FOC. Aim: The overall aims of the thesis were to describe midwives´ perceptions and views on FOC and to expand the current knowledge about expectations for the forthcoming birth in nulliparous women in the context of FOC. Method: Study I had a descriptive design. In total 21 midwives, distributed over four focus-groups, participated. Data were analysed by the phenomenographic approach. Studies II and III had cross sectional designs. Study II comprised 726 midwives, randomly selected from a national sample that completed a questionnaire that addressed the findings from Study I. Study III included 423 pregnant nulliparous women. FOC was measured using the Wijma Delivery Expectancy/Experience Questionnaire (W-DEQ), self-efficacy by the Childbirth Self-Efficacy Inventory (CBSEI). Study IV had a descriptive interpretative design. Seventeen women with severe FOC were conveniently selected from the sample of Study III and individually interviewed. Content analyses, both deductive and inductive, were performed. Method: Study I had a descriptive design. In total 21 midwives, distributed over four focus-groups, participated. Data were analysed by the phenomenographic approach. Studies II and III had cross sectional designs.

Study IV had a descriptive interpretative design. Seventeen women with severe FOC were conveniently selected from the sample of Study III and individually interviewed. Content analyses, both deductive and inductive, were performed. Conclusions: Swedish midwives regard severe FOC as a serious problem that influences pregnant women’s view on the forthcoming labour and delivery. Midwives at antenatal care clinics, compared to colleagues working at labour wards, experience a greater need for training in care of pregnant women with severe FOC. Self-efficacy is a useful construct and the self-efficacy theory an applicable way of thinking in analysing fear of childbirth. The self-efficacy concept might be appropriate in midwives’ care for women with severe FOC.

Thomson, Gillian Margaret. "A hero's tale of childbirth : an interpretive phenomenological study of traumatic and positive childbirth." Thesis, University of Central Lancashire, 2007. http://clok.uclan.ac.uk/20080/.
Childbirth is an emotional and physical experience, which may have permanent or longterm positive or negative consequences. Key predictive factors of traumatic and positive childbirth have been previously identified. Criticisms however have been levied towards the pre-dominantly quantitative-based, pathological focus of the literature. Few empirical studies have examined the positive nature of childbirth. Research has also focused on isolated aspects of the pre, intra and post-partum period, as opposed to women's global perceptions. The need to consult with women who have endured traumatic and non-traumatic childbirth and to identify the complex interplay of factors associated with these events has been highlighted in the literature. This research comprises an interpretive phenomenological study. By recruiting and interviewing women who had experienced a self-defined traumatic and positive birth, the research aimed to generate a deeper understanding of the meanings and lived experiences of diverse childbirth events. A further aim was to explore how women achieved a subsequent positive birth following a traumatic episode, as well as the impact of this experience on maternal wellbeing. Through purposive sampling methods, a total of fourteen women were engaged over two recruitment phases. In phase one an interview was held with ten women who had already experienced a self-defined traumatic and positive birth. In phase two, four vomen were recruited on a longitudinal basis; interviews were held after a traumatic (interview 1) and subsequent birth (interview 2). In addition, all women (across both phases) were also involved in a final interpretation meeting. Thirty-two interviews were held in total. Data were collected through in-depth interviews. Data analysis was undertaken through an interpretive framework based on Heideggerian and Gadamerian hermeneutics. The findings present the women's childbearing journey of tragedy and joy through seven interpretive themes. A theoretical framework has re-conceptualised the women's birth narratives as a hero's tale. This represents a heroic journey of adversity, trials, courage, determination and triumph. A unique psychosocial model has been synthesised by integrating aspects of the theories of Carl Jung (1968, 1989, 2006), Abraham Maslow (1962, 1970a&b) and Martin Heidegger (1962, 1976, 1977). This model has provided a holistic conceptual framework of women's childbirth experiences. The framework explores the psychosocial motivators and influences on women's childbirth experiences. It emphasises the importance of socio-contextual factors to determine a woman's growth potential during childbirth; as well as how growth-inhibiting (traumatic birth) and growth-enhancing (joyful birth) experiences are internalised by women. This model offers the basis through which a whole systems salutogenic orientation to maternity care can be achieved. Original insights into the transformative, cathartic and self-validating nature of a redemptive birth are also presented. The practical implications of these findings and suggestions for future research have been offered.
The aims of this study were to describe the childbirth preferences of nulliparous women in early pregnancy and to develop a model of the predictors of those preferences. Participants were recruited with Facebook advertisements and data were collected from 344 women via online survey. Predictors were measured using the Utah Test for the Childbearing Year. Predictors of childbirth preferences (type of birth care provider, birth setting, mode of delivery, and use/avoidance of pain medication) were tested using structural equation modeling. Conventional content analysis was employed to analyze women’s reasons for selecting the type of provider and setting they expected for their delivery. Although the majority of respondents preferred physicians and hospital birth, the proportions of women who preferred midwifery care and planned home birth were higher than currently access those types of care in the U.S. More respondents preferred to use pain medication than to avoid it. Over 95% of respondents preferred vaginal delivery. Women who had an internal locus of control and perceived their childbearing role to be one of active participation were more likely than women who saw their role as a passive one to prefer midwifery care, home birth, vaginal delivery, and to avoid pain medication. Women who saw the provider’s role as dominant to their own were more likely to prefer physicians and hospital birth than those who viewed the provider’s role as a collaborative one. The more fearful/painful women expected birth to be, the more likely they were to prefer cesarean delivery.

Childbirth is an event that has undergone changes over decades. Studies reveal that from the twentieth century, childbirth began to be performed in a hospital environment. In 1922, the professional nurse began to appropriate knowledge about the process of parturition and in 1988 the nurse midwife inserted in childbirth care in an attempt to reduce the rates of perinatal death (SOUZA et al., 2015).

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a multifactorial disorder, characterized by the descent of the pelvic organs into the vaginal canal. POP is associated with decreased quality of life, and even depression, yet 50% of women over the age of fifty are living with this disorder. The estimated direct cost for POP surgeries is over one billion dollars annually, in the United States alone. This rather exorbitant figure includes the cost of surgery performed for symptom management, but does not include strategies which address the underlying cause of the disorder. It is not surprising then, that within a few years over 10% of repairs will require a second procedure. Thus, more studies are needed to understand the pathophysiology of POP.

Review question / Objective: General aim of this systematic review is to synthesize available evidence on women´s experiences during childbirth in health institutions and formal care settings. Specific objectives are to: 1. Describe women´s experiences during childbirth in institutional health centers. 2. Classify women´s experiences according to the Mother and Baby Friendly Birth Facility (MBFBF) criteria. 3. Describe prevalence of these experiences across different countries and cultures. 4. Determine the impact of childbirth experiences on self-perceived women's health on aspects related to physical, psychological and social domains. Condition being studied: This review will be framed within the context of the Mother and Baby Friendly Birth Facility (MBFBF). Women´s experiences during childbirth will be classified according to the categories defined by the MBFBF. Other actions or experiences, as interventionism or different procedures applied during childbirth, will be also analyzed (Mena-Tudela et al., 2020).

This study uses administrative data and an event study methodology to analyze the impact of childbirth and the birth of a child with a disability on labor market outcomes of mothers and fathers. We use a monthly employer-employee panel based on unemployment insurance data. The findings reveal a substantial gender gap associated with childbirth, and childhood disability further widens this gap. Moreover, childhood disability creates an intra-gender gap for mothers after childbirth, where mothers of children with disabilities experience poorer labor outcomes compared to mothers of children without disabilities. These findings underscore the importance of caregiving policies in general and for children with disabilities in particular. It is crucial to consider disability in family assessments and social protection programs designed to address these disparities.
