“…Contrary to this, Cooper and Warland (2011) suggest that, information brochures that are specifically designed to explain IOL in plain language have the capacity to improve women's knowledge about the procedure. This quasi experimental study however, lacked randomization making it susceptible to bias and they presumed that every reader is literate and able to understand the contents of written information.…”

“…Obstetricians and midwives acknowledged the importance of understanding women’s preferences for childbirth and their views in decision-making. Previous studies investigating women’s experiences of IOL found their main concerns were regarding lack of information and informed choice [ 11 , 12 , 31 , 32 ]. Similarly, our study found that midwives questioned whether women were fully informed, describing the challenges of antenatal classes and time limitations in antenatal clinics.…”

“…Additionally, like another study, obstetricians describe the ‘framing effect’ [ 33 ] where information is selectively conveyed to women to influence women’s decision-making. Specific information brochures [ 31 ] or decision aids [ 34 ] may be a time efficient, transparent and cost-efficient way of communicating information about risks and benefits of IOL.…”

BackgroundUnexplained variation in induction of labour (IOL) rates exist between hospitals, even after accounting for casemix and hospital differences. We aimed to explore factors that influence clinical decision-making for IOL that may be contributing to the variation in IOL rates between hospitals.MethodsWe undertook a qualitative study involving semi-structured, audio-recorded interviews with obstetricians and midwives. Using purposive sampling, participants known to have diverse opinions on IOL were selected from ten Australian maternity hospitals (based on differences in hospital IOL rate, size, location and case-mix complexities). Transcripts were indexed, coded, and analysed using the Framework Approach to identify main themes and subthemes.ResultsForty-five participants were interviewed (21 midwives, 24 obstetric medical staff). Variations in decision-making for IOL were based on the obstetrician’s perception of medical risk in the pregnancy (influenced by the obstetrician’s personality and knowledge), their care relationship with the woman, how they involved the woman in decision-making, and resource availability. The role of a ‘gatekeeper’ in the procedural aspects of arranging an IOL also influenced decision-making. There was wide variation in the clinical decision-making practices of obstetricians and less accountability for decision-making in hospitals with a high IOL rate, with the converse occurring in hospitals with low IOL rates.ConclusionImproved communication, standardised risk assessment and accountability for IOL offer potential for reducing variation in hospital IOL rates.

“…Two studies were included which were conducted in 2011 and 2013 in Australia. The study designs were a quasi‐experimental study (Cooper & Warland, 2011) and a randomized controlled trial (Turnbull et al., 2013) (Table 2). Both papers were assessed as being of high to medium quality.…”

Aims To evaluate the effectiveness of non‐pharmacological non‐invasive supportive interventions for impacts on women's comfort and well‐being during induction of labour. Design A quantitative systematic review without meta‐analysis. Data Sources Databases were searched for primary research published in English between 2000–2019: AMED, CINAHL, Medline, Maternity and Infant Care database, PsycINFO, and ProQuest. The quality of studies was evaluated using JBI levels of evidence and established critical appraisal tools. Studies describing measures of comfort, coping, and well‐being for women during induction of labour were included. Results Two articles met the criteria for inclusion. There is limited evidence to suggest that women having outpatient cervical priming were more satisfied with their experience than women having inpatient cervical priming and that outpatient cervical priming did not increase women's anxiety. A specifically designed information brochure explaining the induction process improved women's knowledge and understanding. Review Methods The quantitative systematic review followed the Centre for Reviews and Dissemination guidelines and Cochrane Effective Practice and Organisation of Care guidance. Quality appraisal was conducted using JBI levels of evidence, Cochrane Risk of Bias, and other established tools. A narrative description of the quantitative data was undertaken. There was insufficient evidence to perform a narrative synthesis or meta‐analysis due to the nature of the study designs and insufficient outcome data. Conclusions Globally, the number of women having an induction of labour is increasing and there is a lack of evidence on the effectiveness of supportive interventions. Components of supportive care for women having induction of labour require urgent evaluation. Measurement tools which capture the complexity of supportive care for women having induction of labour need to be developed and validated. Impact This is the first review to evaluate non‐pharmacological, non‐invasive supportive interventions for women having induction of labour. The findings of this review identify the urgent need to develop an evidence base for effective supportive.
