Untrustworthiness, ineffective communication, and discrimination: The real issues behind lower utilization of labor epidural analgesia by Black Americans
Background
Non-Hispanic Black pregnant individuals utilize up to 50% less labor epidural analgesia compared to non-Hispanic White individuals.
Purpose
This Outlook and Perspectives aims to evaluate the factors contributing to racial differences in the utilization of labor epidural analgesia.
Methods
Literature on scientific evidence regarding racial disparities in maternal outcomes and labor pain management was reviewed and summarized.
Findings
We identified that trust issues with healthcare and providers, ineffective patient-provider communication, and perceived mistreatment and discrimination contribute to these disparities in labor pain management.
Discussion
Further research is needed to develop strategies to enhance birthing experiences for Black individuals, including improving patient-provider communication and providing accurate, culturally sensitive patient education on labor pain management.
