“…The BBB questionnaire in Spain had 3617 respondents, and 2869 (79.32%) were accepted for analysis after data cleaning. The women excluded were those who had not given birth in the previous 5 years, 31 whose age was invalid (115), who failed to answer at least two thirds of the questionnaire (578), and those who provided inconsistent answers 19 (such as responses related to the hospital facilities in a home birth).…”

Background: Public patient involvement (PPI) generates knowledge about the health-illness process through the incorporation of people's experiences and priorities. The Babies Born Better (BBB) survey is a pan-European online questionnaire that can be used as a PPI tool for preliminary and consultative forms of citizens' involvement. The purpose of this research was to identify which practices support positive birth experiences and which ones women want changed. Methods: The BBB survey was distributed in virtual communities of practice and through social networks. The version launched in Spain was used to collect data in 2014 and 2015 from women who had given birth in the previous 5 years. A descriptive, quantitative analysis was applied to the sociodemographic data. Two openended questions were analyzed by qualitative content analysis using a deductive and inductive codification process. Results: A total of 2841 women participated. 41.1% of the responses concerned the category "Care received and experienced," followed by "Specific interventions and procedures" (26.6%), "Involved members of care team" (14.2%), and "Environmental conditions" (9%). Best practices were related to how care is provided and received, and the main areas for improvement referred to specific interventions and procedures. Conclusions: This survey proved a useful tool to map the best and poorest practices reported. The results suggest a need for improvement in some areas of childbirth care. Women's reports on negative experiences included a wide range of routine clinical interventions, avoidable procedures, and the influence exerted by professionals on their decision-making.

“…For the deductive codification, we used maternity care terms defined by the scientific literature and published results from other BBB surveys. 31,36 The inductive codification served to create codes from the written answers. The result of these two methods was a coding framework prepared by the authors (Table 1).…”

“…For example, women place value upon being listened to and being placed at the centre of decision-making processes (Heatley et al 2015;Mei et al 2015;Miron-Shatz and Konheim-Kalkstein 2020). Quality and amount of support provided by midwives and allied health care professionals plays a vital role in level of 'birth satisfaction' reported (Luegmair et al 2018;Dev et al 2019;Miron-Shatz and Konheim-Kalkstein 2020), with women testifying that they feel more positive about their birth experience when their needs and comforts are considered (Luegmair et al 2018;Hall et al 2020).…”

Birth satisfaction relates to women's perceptions of their childbirth experience, with importance placed on the midwife to improve standards of the intranatal care provided. With evaluating intranatal care in mind, this paper aims to educate midwives about one particular method of measuring women's experiences of labour, which involves using the valid and reliable Birth Satisfaction Scale-Revised (BSS-R). The BSS-R is a 10-item self-report valid and reliable measure, which is recommended by the International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurement (ICHOM) as the ‘method of choice’ for evaluating women's ‘birth experience’. Since the ICHOM began recommending the BSS-R as part of its pregnancy and childbirth standard set, the scale (at time of print) has been used in 39 countries and 134 sites around the world.

“…A substandard process component of postnatal care was also observed by Lotto (2015) in Tanzania. Luegmair et al (2018) identified shortcomings in puerperal care and counseling in their study in Austria. Assessment is the second recommendation on the WHO (2014) practice guideline for postnatal care which was found to be poorly adhered to in this setting.…”

Globally, postpartum care is a neglected part of maternal health, even though 50% of maternal deaths occur in the first weeks after childbirth. Literature is sparse on the quality and content of postnatal care provided in Nigeria. This study aimed to assess the quality of Postnatal Care (PNC) for mothers using the World Health Organization (WHO) practice guideline of postnatal care. An exploratory crosssectional design was employed among 57 purposively selected mothers in postnatal clinic and wards. Data were collected in two phases using three checklists to examine facility resources and quality of postnatal care provided; and one questionnaire to evaluate mothers' satisfaction in both the clinic and the wards. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The facility assessment showed an inadequate infrastructure and human resources. Only 47.9% of the recommended routine postnatal care was provided on the postnatal wards and 42.3% in the postnatal clinic. Level of satisfaction was found to be poor among 63.2% of the women on the wards, and good among 82.5% of the women in the clinic. Findings suggest that inadequate resources for PNC. Organizations need to strengthen PNC services by providing recommended resources and a standard guideline that will serve as a framework for provision of quality postnatal care services.
