Abstract

Background

Childbirth in healthcare facilities has increased in South-East Asia and the focus on quality of childbirth care has increased in the region. Without a deeper understanding of women’s experience of giving birth in healthcare facilities, the quality of care cannot be improved. The aim of this study was to synthesise available qualitative research from India that explores women’s experiences of giving birth in healthcare facilities.

Method

A qualitative systematic literature review was conducted in February 2023, using the databases PubMed, CINAHL, and Scopus. We used an inductive content analysis.

Findings

The search identified 6316 articles, 16 of which were included. The overall categories were Lack of dignity and respect, Adequacy of supportive care, and Limited hospital infrastructure and cleanliness, and these were cited by the women to be a deterrent from having their future births at a hospital.

Conclusion

There is an urgent need for comprehensive measures to eliminate mistreatment during childbirth, ensure cost-free access to healthcare, and enhance the quality of maternal care. These efforts are essential for improving maternal and neonatal outcomes and promoting positive childbirth experiences for women in India and in other similar settings.
印度妇女在医疗机构分娩的经历——定性研究的系统文献综述。
背景:东南亚在医疗保健设施中分娩的情况有所增加,该地区对分娩护理质量的关注也有所增加。如果不能更深入地了解妇女在医疗机构分娩的经历,就无法提高护理质量。这项研究的目的是综合印度现有的定性研究,探讨妇女在医疗机构分娩的经验。方法:于2023年2月使用PubMed、CINAHL、Scopus数据库进行定性系统文献综述。我们使用了归纳内容分析。结果:检索到6316篇文章,其中16篇被纳入。总的类别是缺乏尊严和尊重、支持性护理充足、医院基础设施和卫生条件有限,妇女们认为这些因素是她们今后不愿在医院分娩的因素。结论:迫切需要采取综合措施,消除分娩过程中的不当行为,确保免费获得医疗服务,提高孕产妇保健质量。这些努力对于改善孕产妇和新生儿结局以及促进印度和其他类似环境中妇女的积极分娩体验至关重要。
