“…Otherwise, the study indicated that two fifths of women were not satisfied with the services at night in the ward and the majority of them were not satisfied about staff nurses' not devoting enough time to the patients. This finding was inconsistent with an earlier study conducted by Elgazzar & Hashem (2018) on Egyptian women who found that slightly more than twothirds of the women surveyed were pleased with the contact from nurses.…”

Background: Competence of maternity nurses affects directly on the quality of health care and women's gratification or satisfaction. Postpartum quality of care is considered a vital part in promoting maternal and neonatal health and symbolizes the process of nursing care. The aim of this study is to assess the competence of nurses in rendering postpartum care and its effect on women's satisfaction. Methodology: A descriptive exploratory research design was utilized. Setting: Three hospitals affiliated to Ministry of Health and Population were selected for their availability of labour and delivery units. Sample: 300 women in reproductive age and all nurses working in Obstetric/Gynecological wards in the previously selected settings. Tools for data collection: Data were collected using: An observational check list for nurses and a structured interviewing questionnaire for women. Results: The total mean of women's satisfaction was quite high (3.90±0.62), whereas that of orientation and information was 3.83±1.00, advices provision was 3.83±1.8 and specific nursing care 1.32±0.46. It is evident that women were less satisfied with the specific postpartum nursing care they received. The study revealed that there was a positive and highly statistically significant correlation between satisfaction of post partum women and competences of rendered nursing care. Conclusion: There were a highly statistically significant difference between the competences of rendered nursing care and postpartum women's satisfaction. Recommendations: Competence-based nursing care should be provided after the planned birth for mothers in the postpartum unit. Future studies should focus on postpartum mothers' needs of care that reflect on their satisfaction with the services provided.

“…Notably, studies from both Egypt and Jordan provide conflicting inter and intra-country findings of women's perceptions of empathy and kindness from providers. Abdel Ghani and Berggren, Monazea and Al-Attar, and Elgazzar et al reported that two-thirds of participants in Egypt prioritized the need for nurses to demonstrate empathy in care while two other studies support this as 39.1% ( n = 435) and 37.4% ( n = 214) were dissatisfied due to poor emotional support from nurses ( 34 , 62 , 63 ). Another study in Egypt ( n = 501) found that about 75% of respondents were treated kindly/friendly by health workers, but about half felt that staff did not treat them empathetically or respectfully ( 64 ).…”

BackgroundObstetric violence (OV) threatens the provision of dignified, rights-based, high-quality, and respectful maternal care (RMC). The dearth of evidence on OV in the Eastern Mediterranean Region poses a knowledge gap requiring research to improve rights-based and respectful health practice and policy. While efforts to improve the quality of maternal health have long-existed, women's experiences of childbirth and perceptions of dignity and respect are not adequately or systematically recorded, especially in the said region.AimThis study centered on the experiences of women's mistreatment in childbirth to provide an overview of OV and offer recommendations to improve RMC.MethodsA scoping review was conducted, and a total of 38 articles met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed using Bowser and Hill's framework of the seven typologies of Disrespect and Abuse (D&A) in childbirth. D&A in childbirth (or violations to RMC) is a manifestation of OV and served as a proxy to analyze its prevalence in the EMR.Findings and DiscussionThis study indicated that across the EMR, women experienced every type of D&A in childbirth. This happens regardless of health systems' strength or country's income, with 6 out of 7 types of D&A found in almost two-thirds of included countries. In the EMR, the most common types of D&A in childbirth are physical abuse (especially overused routine interventions) and non-dignified care (embedded in patriarchal socio-cultural norms). The intersections of these abuses enable the objectification of women's bodies and overuse of unconsented routine interventions in a hierarchical and patriarchal system that regards the power and autonomy of doctors above birthing women. If unchecked, the implications include acceptance, continuation, and underreporting of D&A in childbirth, as well as passivity toward human-rights violations, which all further cause the continuing the cycle of OV.ConclusionIn order to eliminate OV, a paradigm shift is required involving infrastructure changes, education, empowerment, advocacy, a women-centered and gender-sensitive approach to health system strengthening, and policy development. Recommendations are given at individual, community, health systems, and policy levels to ensure that every woman achieves her right to health and birth in a dignified, respectful, and empowered manner.

“…Also, they found a highly statistically significant difference between women's satisfaction and number of parity, while there is non-statistically significant difference between number of gravida, number of abortion and gestational age with women's satisfaction level (p>0.05).

Labor is a critical time for women and newborns. Every day in 2017, approximately 810 women died from preventable causes related to pregnancy and childbirth. Many studies revealed that labor care satisfaction is a critical point of intervention to eliminate the high maternal mortality rate. Thus, the Aim of this research was to assess factors associated with women's satisfaction during labor. A descriptive research design was utilized. A convenience sample of 384 women in labor was chosen from El-Shatby Maternity Hospital affiliated to Alexandria University. Tools: A socio-demographic and reproductive history interview schedule and the Birth Satisfaction Scale (BSS) were used. Results: the study revealed that 57% of the studied women had low satisfaction level. Significant correlations (0.01) were observed among satisfaction level and age, education, occupation, income and residence. Significant correlations (0.01) were observed among satisfaction level and number of gravidity, parity, abortion and type of delivery. Conclusion: more than half (57 %) of the study subjects had low satisfaction level. Many factors were associated with women's satisfaction during labor especially elect the place of birth, birth environment, sufficient support, staff communication, coping during labor, feeling in control, preparation for childbirth, relationship with baby and stress experienced during labor. Those factors are important indicators to improve women satisfaction during labor experience. Recommendation: midwifery care staff need to fully understand woman's expectations for their care, and provide care that is consistent with those expectations.
