Investigation of factors affecting mothers' satisfaction with childbirth and the supportive care given to them during labo

İlkay Ünal, Hafize Öztürk Can

Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the factors affecting mothers' satisfaction with birth and the supportive care given to them during labor. The tools used to collect the data were the Scale for Measuring Maternal Satisfaction in Birth and Bryanton Adaptation of the Nursing Support in Labor Questionnaire. The study sample consisted of 352 mothers. In this study, it was determined that 64.2% of mothers were satisfied with the support given during their birth. There is a significant relationship between age, number of pregnancies, number of births and Nursing Support Scale total score and mothers' satisfaction with birth. Mothers' satisfaction levels with birth are affected by these variables. It has been determined that as the birth support mothers receive during labor increases, their satisfaction level with birth increases. For this reason, it is recommended to increase care and support during labor and conduct other studies to determine other factors affecting satisfaction at birth.
