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)
