Article Synopsis
- Growing demand for childbirth care that prioritizes women's autonomy and informed decisions has led to exploring non-medical pain relief options like water immersion during labor.
- A systematic review of thirteen qualitative studies highlights three main themes: women's and midwives' motivations for water births, the perceived benefits of this method, and the challenges and support systems surrounding its implementation.
- Overall, the findings suggest that women experience positive outcomes from water births, but they emphasize the need for proper training and resources for midwives to ensure safety during the process.
Objectives: To determine the reliability and the content and construct validity of the Mackey Childbirth Satisfaction Rating Scale to measure women's satisfaction with labor and delivery.
Methods: The translation-back translation method was used to obtain an adapted version of the scale. For the validation study, a sample of 325 women who had delivered a healthy neonate through the vaginal route was selected.
