“…It was also evident that these women were from higher socio-economic groups. It is vital that access to maternity services is given priority, which has been illuminated in several studies (Ali et al, 2004;Cross-Sudworth et al, 2011). This study did involve women form other ethnic groups on a small scale and if a higher number of participants were recruited, a considerably higher representation of ethnic minority groups might have been achieved.…”

A review of the literature about Iraqi women's perspectives of maternity care services and the views of women of similar cultural background helped in compiling additional statements (21,22).

To complement standard measures of maternity care outcomes, an assessment of women's satisfaction with care is needed. The aim of this study was to elicit the perspectives and experiences of Iraqi women about childbirth and postnatal care services. The study participants were a sample of 37 women of different educational and socioeconomic status who had given birth during the previous 6 months. Q-methodology was used for data collection and analysis. Three distinct viewpoints and experiences of childbirth and postnatal care services were identified: a general perception of poor childbirth and postnatal care with lack of appropriate interpersonal care and support; a high satisfaction and positive experience with childbirth and postnatal care services among the confident and well-supported women; and poor satisfaction with the childbirth and postnatal care services in terms of meeting traditional cultural practices. Needs assessment around providers' skills and attitudes and the wider sociocultural environment of childbirth and postnatal care is necessary in Iraq.

Ab s t r a c tPurpose: Customer Quality (CQ) refers to customer's characteristics related to the consumer knowledge, skills and confidence to be actively participating with health team in right decision making, appropriate activities, changing environment and their health related behaviors. The Purpose of this study was to assess customer quality of maternity care from the perspective of pregnant women during pregnancy in Tabriz, Iran. Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted with 185 pregnant women in their ninth month of pregnancy who received maternity care from urban health centers and health posts in Tabriz. All participants were selected randomly from 40 health centers and health posts. Customer Quality was measured using CQMH_CQ questionnaire. Questionnaire content validity was reviewed and confirmed by 10 experts and its reliability was confirmed based on Cronbach's alpha index (α = 0.71).Results: All participants achieved stage 1 scores of Customer Quality; 81% reached the actual action stage. Only 14% reported the highest Customer Quality score and ability to change the action by changing health and environment. Participants registered in health centers at the second trimester of pregnancy, reported a higher Customer Quality score, reflecting higher capacity for self-care and self-management. Conclusion:Empowering pregnant women by engaging them in the service delivery process and decision making can promote costumer quality and pregnant women's ability for good decision making and appropriate action. In addition, encouraging health care providers to improve customer's capabilities could have an important role in this process.
