Different factors have an important role in the positive and negative childbirth experiences of the mothers. The parturient mother's privacy preservation is one of the factors for increasing the mothers' satisfaction consistent with natural childbirth. Hence, this study aimed to investigate the factors affecting the parturient mother's privacy preservation. Content analysis was used in this qualitative study that is based on the semi structured individual interviews with women who had experienced natural vaginal delivery, midwives, and the specialist in a maternity ward from 2018 to 2021 in Shahroud, Iran. The collected data were analyzed simultaneously with the sampling procedure using a five-step qualitative content analysis method. To ensure the robustness of the data, Lincoln and Guba's four criteria (credibility, dependability, confirmability, and transferability) were used. The findings of the study with 40 participants resulted in the extraction of 28 codes, 9 subcategories, and 2 main categories entitled extra-and intra personal factors affecting the mother's privacy. To foster the mother's awareness of her rights and privacy during pregnancy and delivery, continuous education, monitoring, and evaluating both the students and the staff to respect preserving the mother's privacy is necessary to develop an instrument to measure the preservation of the mother's privacy in the maternity ward.
