Women's empowerment in pregnancy and childbirth: A concept analysis.

CONCLUSION: Attributes, external and internal to the woman, were identified. Both types of attributes need to be considered within the broader socio-cultural-economic-political landscape of the individual woman, in conjunction with a woman's belief in herself and her meaningful interconnectedness with carers. RELEVANCE: This study resulted in an understanding of empowerment in the context of pregnancy and childbirth that can be used in research and for the development of interventions preparing women for childbirth and their subsequent transition to motherhood.
