Abstract:
Maternity nurses are authorized health workers that provide antenatal care, but their roles and function in antenatal care services are not recognized by the public. This research aims to reveal the experience of pregnant women during antenatal visits in private clinic maternity nursing. Six pregnant women selected using purposive sampling underwent an in-depth interview in this descriptive phenomenological study. Data were analyzed through thematic content analysis with Moustakas approach. Three themes were identified in this study: 1) women experience good communication with maternity nurses; 2) women receive family-centered nursing care; 3) the schedule, cost, facility, and types of service meet the participants’ needs. This study suggests for nurses to improve their competencies in delivering antenatal care according to clients’ needs.Abstrak Pengalaman Kehamilan Wanita Selama Masa Perawatan Antenatal di Klinik Mandiri Keperawatan Maternitas.

Abstract:
Culture forms part of many individuals’ identities. Many people have firmly held beliefs and practices that inform their being and the way they conduct themselves in society. Culture influences health beliefs and engagement with the maternity system for women. Health professionals engaging with women and their partners in the maternity space may have preconceived notions and ideologies about culture. Midwives have a right to differing cultural and religious views, however, they must ensure their views do not impede on the provision of midwifery care.

Abstract:
Introduction: The vertical integration of primary and specialized care has been identified as a key challenge internationally. In Finland, 23 wellbeing services counties will be responsible for organizing integrated social and health care of primary and specialized care starting 2023. Primary maternity care services are offered in antenatal clinics. Specialized care is offered at 23 maternity hospitals including specialized ante- and postnatal care and childbirth. Specialized maternity care has been burdened due to the ever-increasing number of visits and the insufficient information flow between primary and specialized care. In some wellbeing services counties, services have already been integrated, but no information is available whether this integration has improved processes, outcomes or customer satisfaction. Aims and methods: The first aim is to investigate whether there are differences in maternity care service processes, outcomes and customer satisfaction between the wellbeing services counties. The second aim is to find out perceptions of maternity care managers about the integration of maternity care. Three data sets will be used: the Finnish Medical Birth Register data on all newborns in Finland in 2021 (N=49 726), FinChildren survey on parents with 3-6 months old babies (N=14 820) and qualitative thematic interview among maternity care managers (N=8). All data have been collected and analysis of register and survey data is ongoing. Interview data have been analyzed. Highlights: There are differences in the outcomes and customer satisfaction between the wellbeing services counties. However, more detailed data analyses are needed by adjusting for the most evident confounders and comparing the counties with integrated care to the other counties. These results will be presented at the conference. Maternity care managers felt that the structures within maternity care together with organizational boundaries pose a challenge to integration. Political decision-making was considered to have an influence on maternity care structures. Furthermore, more expertise in maternity care was expected from policy makers to support decision-making. Shared maternity care structure, management, and information systems were seen as factors promoting integration. A partial ambiguity or overlap in the roles between maternity clinics and maternity care at hospitals was observed, as well as inter-professional tensions between public health nurses who are working on primary maternity care and midwives who are working both in primary and specialized maternity care. Conclusions: The maternity care system should be more integrated in terms of governance structures, resources, and management. The expertise of maternity care professionals should be utilized in a customer-oriented and cost-effective way. More conclusions will be drawn after finalizing the quantitative analyses. Implications: New models of integrated maternity care should be developed, paying attention to the optimal continuity of care from the perspective of pregnant mothers and families. The results of this study can be used to develop the maternity care systems in different countries.

Abstract:
ObjectiveHigh-quality maternity care is key to long-term improvements in population health. However, even within developed welfare systems, some mothers and babies experience poorer care and outcomes. This study aimed to explore whether women’s experiences of maternity care in Scotland differs by their physical or sociodemographic characteristics.DesignSecondary analysis of the 2015 Scottish Maternity Care Experience Survey. The questionnaire was based on the Care Quality Commission English maternity survey.SettingNational Health Service maternity care in Scotland.ParticipantsThe survey was distributed to 5025 women who gave birth in Scotland during February and March 2015 with 2036 respondents (41%).Main outcome measuresThe questionnaire explored aspects of care processes and interpersonal care experienced from the first antenatal contact (booking) to 6 weeks following the birth. The analysis investigated whether experiences were related to age, parity, deprivation, rurality, self-reported general health or presence of a health condition that limited daily activities. Analysis used mixed effect multilevel models incorporating logistic regression.ResultsThere were associations between parity, age and deprivation with gestation at booking indicating that younger women, women from more deprived areas and multiparous women booked later. Women reporting generally poorer health were more likely to describe poorer care experiences in almost every domain including continuity, pain relief in labour, communication with staff, support and advice, involvement in decision making, confidence and trust and overall rating of care.ConclusionsWe found few differences in maternity care experience for women based on their physical or socioeconomic characteristics. Our findings indicate that maternity care in Scotland is generally equitable. However, the link between poorer general health after childbirth and poorer experience of maternity care is an important finding requiring further study.

Technology of delivery of health care for developing countries is not a resolved issue. Moreover, maternitycare differs from other areas of health care in many ways. Developing countries have to carefully adapt towhat has been done in developed countries.

Midwifery-led maternity care is described as the bestand necessary part of the sufficiently and thus inevitably health producing maternity health care organisation.Key Words: Midwifery-led maternity care, maternity health care organisation, midwives, doctors.

Abstract:
Background and Objectives: The number of family physicians providing maternity care continues to decline, jeopardizing access to needed care for underserved populations. Accreditation changes in 2014 provided an opportunity to create family medicine residency maternity care tracks, providing comprehensive maternity care training only for interested residents. We examined the relationship between maternity care tracks and residents’ educational experiences and postgraduate practice. Methods: We included questions on maternity care tracks in an omnibus survey of family medicine residency program directors (PDs). We divided respondent programs into three categories: “Track,” “No Track Needed,” and “No Track.” We compared these program types by their characteristics, number of resident deliveries, and number of graduates practicing maternity care. Results: The survey response rate was 40%. Of the responding PDs, 79 (32%) represented Track programs, 55 (22%) No Track Needed programs, and 94 (38%) No Track programs. Residents in a track attended more deliveries than those not in a track (at Track programs) and those at No Track Needed and No Track programs. No Track Needed programs reported the highest proportion of graduates accepting positions providing inpatient maternity care in 2019 (21%), followed by Track programs (17%) and No Track programs (5%; P<.001). Conclusions: Where universal robust maternity care education is not feasible, maternity care tracks are an excellent alternative to provide maternity care training and produce graduates who will practice maternity care. Programs that cannot offer adequate experience to achieve competence in inpatient maternity care may consider instituting a maternity care track.

Abstract:
Purpose – Achieving maternity-care outcomes that align with women’s needs, preferences and expectations is important but theoretically driven measures of women’s satisfaction with their entire maternity-care experience do not appear to exist. The purpose of this paper is to outline the development of an instrument to assess women’s perception of their entire maternity-care experience. Design/methodology/approach – A questionnaire was developed on the basis of previous research and informed by a framework of standard service quality categories covering the spectrum of typical consumer concerns. A pilot survey with a sample of 195 women who had recent experience of birth was undertaken to establish valid and reliable scales pertaining to different stages of maternity care. Exploratory factor analysis was used to interpret scales and convergent validity was assessed using a modified version of the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire. Findings – Nine theoretically informed, reliable and valid stand-alone scales measuring the achievement of different dimensions of women’s expectancies of public maternity care were developed. The study scales are intended for use in identifying some potential areas of focus for quality improvement in the delivery of maternity care. Research limitations/implications – Reliable and valid tools for monitoring the extent to which services respond to women’s expectations of their entire maternity care form part of the broader toolkit required to adequately manage health-care quality. This study offers guidance on the make-up of such tools. Originality/value – The scales produced from this research offer a means to assess maternity care across the full continuum of care and are brief and easy to use.

Abstract:
Background Medicaid Accountable Care Organizations (ACO) are increasingly common, but the network breadth for maternity care is not well described. The inclusion of maternity care clinicians in Medicaid ACOs has significant implications for access to care for pregnant people, who are disproportionately insured by Medicaid. Purpose To address this, we evaluate obstetrician-gynecologists (OB/GYN), maternal-fetal medicine specialists (MFM), certified nurse midwives (CNM), and acute care hospital inclusion in Massachusetts Medicaid ACOs. Methodology/Approach Using publicly available provider directories for Massachusetts Medicaid ACOs (n = 16) from December 2020 –January 2021, we quantify obstetrician-gynecologists, maternal-fetal medicine specialists, CNMs, and acute care hospital with obstetric department inclusion in each Medicaid ACO. We compare maternity care provider and acute care hospital inclusion across and within ACO type. For Accountable Care Partnership Plans, we compare maternity care clinician and acute care hospital inclusion to ACO enrollment. Results Primary Care ACO plans include 1185 OB/GYNs, 51 MFMs, and 100% of Massachusetts acute care hospitals, but CNMs were not easily identifiable in the directories. Across Accountable Care Partnership Plans, a mean of 305 OB/GYNs (median: 97; range: 15–812), 15 MFMs (Median: 8; range: 0–50), 85 CNMs (median: 29; range: 0–197), and half of Massachusetts acute care hospitals (median: 23.81%; range: 10%-100%) were included. Conclusion and practice implications Substantial differences exist in maternity care clinician inclusion across and within ACO types. Characterizing the quality of included maternity care clinicians and hospitals across ACOs is an important target of future research. Highlighting maternal healthcare as a key area of focus for Medicaid ACOs–including equitable access to high-quality obstetric providers–will be important to improving maternal health outcomes.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT AIM To identify factors that have enabled some New Zealand general practitioner obstetricians (GPOs) to continue providing maternity care and factors implicated in decisions to withdraw from maternity care. METHOD Semi-structured interviews and one focus group (n = 3) were conducted with 23 current and former GPOs. Interviews were transcribed and analysed thematically. RESULTS Current and former GPOs practiced maternity care because they enjoyed being involved in the birth process and delivery suite environment. Their maternity practice was framed by a philosophy of lifelong continuity of care for patients. Legislative changes in New Zealand and barriers to shared care that resulted in many GPOs withdrawing from maternity care left remaining GPOs feeling professionally isolated; another reason for ceasing maternity care. Funding was perceived to be inadequate and on-call demands were both major disincentives to providing maternity and intrapartum care. Current GPOs often have strong supportive local relationships with other maternity providers when compared with those no longer practicing. Local shared care arrangements enhance professional support and reduce professional isolation. CONCLUSION GPOs still practicing in New Zealand do so because they find maternity care highly rewarding despite their perceptions that the current maternity care model is incompatible with general practice. They have often developed local solutions that support their practice, particularly around shared care arrangements.
