For many women, fetal well-being in labour is assessed using continuous electronic fetal monitoring with cardiotocography (CTG), a technique used to monitor the fetal heartbeat and uterine contractions during pregnancy and labour.1 However, problems in the assessment of fetal well-being in labour and delays in escalation and response have been consistently highlighted in maternity care safety inquiries, both in the UK and internationally, causing untold distress to parents and families.2–6 Taking an interdisciplinary perspective, drawing on both human factors/ergonomics and social science, the study from Lamé ...

Women's caesarean section preferences: A multicountry cross-sectional survey in low- and middle-income countries
CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that a high proportion of women prefer vaginal birth and highlight that the preference for caesarean section is linked to women's fear of pain and the influence of doctors. These results can inform the development of interventions aimed at supporting women and their preferences, providing them with evidence-based information and changing doctors' behaviour in order to reduce the number of unnecessary caesarean sections.CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRY: The QUALI-DEC trial is registered on the Current Controlled Trials website (https://www.isrctn.com/) under the number ISRCTN67214403.PMID:38520954 | ...

Telehealth and Technology for Diabetes in Pregnancy Clinics: Staff Perspectives from South Auckland, New Zealand
Conclusion. Healthcare providers viewed teleclinics as a way of supporting rather than replacing current care. Maintaining flexibility in clinic scheduling to allow incorporation of teleclinics into patient's current schedule of visits ad hoc and providing extra technical and administrative support are important considerations for developing a teleclinic service.PMID:38516417 | PMC:PMC10957257 | DOI:10.1155/2024/6429519 (Source: International Journal of Telemedicine and Applications)

Health care providers' perspectives on the mistreatment towards women during maternity care: Do perceptions of the working environment and empathy level matter?
CONCLUSIONS: HCPs' perceptions of their working environment and enhanced empathy levels were associated with the reduction of the odds of mistreatment of women. While empathic care should be cultivated as a component of HCPs' competencies, efforts should be made to improve the conditions of the demanding health system to realise a resilient, motivated, competent, and compassionate workforce. The interplay between gender, profession, and mistreatment level requires further investigation.PMID:38518578 | DOI:10.1016/j.wombi.2024.101601 (Source: Women Birth)
