“…The rate of these happening during the pandemic corresponds to the result experienced in the Hungarian representative sample. The data on the basic conditions of childbirth do not differ significantly from the data measured in the Kohorsz'18 birth cohort study (Veroszta et al 2021,Veroszta et al 2022). However, medical care and early intervention mostly took place in the private sector.…”

“…Hungary reports around 90,000 birth per year, 14 and 0.4% of expecting mothers reported plans to give birth at home. 15 One prior study examined community birth clients' procedure rates in a single midwifery practice, 16 but no data exists on the different aspects of respectful care in community birth settings. We sought to describe the obstetric procedure rates and experiences of respectful care among community birth clients in Hungary.…”

IntroductionTo describe and compare intervention rates and experiences of respectful care when Hungarian women opt to give birth in the community.MethodsWe conducted a cross‐sectional online survey (N = 1257) in 2014. We calculated descriptive statistics comparing obstetric procedure rates, respectful care indicators, and autonomy (MADM scale) across four models of care (public insurance; chosen doctor or chosen midwife in the public system; private midwife‐led community birth). We used an intention‐to‐treat approach. After adjusting for social and clinical covariates, we used logistic regression to estimate the odds of obstetric procedures and disrespectful care and linear regression to estimate the level of autonomy (MADM scale).FindingsIn the sample, 99 (7.8%) saw a community midwife for prenatal care. Those who planned community births had the lowest rates of cesarean at 9.1% (public: 30.4%; chosen doctor: 45.2%; chosen midwife 16.5%), induced labor at 7.1% (public: 23.1%; chosen doctor: 26.0%; chosen midwife: 19.4%), and episiotomy at 4.44% (public: 62.3%; chosen doctor: 66.2%; chosen midwife: 44.9%). Community birth clients reported the lowest rates of disrespectful care at 25.5% (public: 64.3%; chosen doctor: 44.3%; chosen midwife: 38.7%) and the highest average MADM score at 31.5 (public: 21.2; chosen doctor: 25.5; chosen midwife: 28.6). In regression analysis, community midwifery clients had significantly reduced odds of cesarean (0.35, 95% CI 0.16–0.79), induced labor (0.27, 95% CI 0.11–0.67), episiotomy (0.04, 95% CI 0.01–0.12), and disrespectful care (0.36, 95% CI 0.21–0.61), while also having significantly higher average MADM scores (5.71, 95% CI 4.08–7.36).ConclusionsHungarian women who plan to give birth in the community have low obstetric procedure rates and report greater respect, in line with international data on the effects of place of birth and model of care on experiences of perinatal care.

There are several reasons for examining the access to early childhood intervention at the earliest possible age during the COVID-19 pandemic. The consequences of the lack of early and widespread access to quality services are well documented, delays might cause irreparable damage, which could lead to challenges in long-term social integration. The article introduces the findings of an online survey exploring how the COVID-19 pandemic affected expectant women and those giving birth, as well as their experiences of the health care system and early intervention services in Hungary. To illustrate how measures in focus access to early intervention can be introduced under such circumstances, we describe a good practice in the field of services.Our data shows that even though less medical examinations were cancelled or postponed than expected, these as well as early intervention mostly took place in the private sector. The majority of mothers faced a high level of stress and anxiety -especially during the restrictions. While depression among mothers did not rise significantly, the feeling of loneliness doubled. 27% turned to a specialist for support -mostly to a psychologist, and an unexpectedly high rate of parents contacted a specialist on parent-infant relationships.
