Obstetric Violence

Background: Obstetric violence is a worldwide public health problem, which seems greater in Spain. As no studies were found that identify the most representative healthcare professionals, times, and areas involved in obstetric violence, the objective of this work was to study at what time of maternity, with which professionals, and in what areas women identified obstetric violence. Methods: This descriptive, retrospective, and cross-sectional study was performed from January 2018 to June 2019. The main variables were the area (hospital, primary care, both), the time (pregnancy, birth, puerperium), and the professionals attending to women. Results: Our sample comprised 17,541 participants. The area identified with the most obstetric violence for the different studied variables was hospitals. Women identified more obstetric violence at time of birth. Findings such as lack of information and informed consent (74.2%), and criticism of infantile behavior and treatment (87.6%), stood out. The main identified healthcare professionals were midwives and gynecologists, and “other” professionals repeatedly appeared. Conclusions: Having identified the professionals, times, and areas of most obstetric violence in Spain, it seems necessary to reflect on not only the Spanish National Health System’s structure and management but also on healthcare professionals’ training.

The Mean

The decentralization of health systems can have direct repercussions on maternity care. Some inequalities can be noted in outcomes, like neonatal and child mortality in Spain. This study aimed to make the presence of obstetric violence in Spain visible as an interterritorial equity criterion. A descriptive, restrospective and cross-sectional study was conducted between January 2018 and June 2019. The sample comprised 17,541 questionnaires, which represented all Spanish Autonomous Communities. Of our sample, 38.3% perceived having suffered obstetric violence; 44.4% perceived that they had undergone unnecessary and/or painful procedures, of whom 83.4% were not requested to provide informed consent. The mean satisfaction with the attention women received obtained 6.94 points in the general sample and 4.85 points for those women who viewed themselves as victims of obstetric violence. Spain seems to have a serious problem with public health and respecting human rights in obstetric violence. Offering information to women and requesting their informed consent are barely practiced in the healthcare system, so it is necessary to profoundly reflect on obstetric practices with, and request informed consent from, women in Spain.

Abstract Background : Informed consent is a body of shared decision making process and voluntary authorization of patients to receive medical or surgical intervention. There are limited studies conducted so far to examine the practice of informed consent in Ethiopia. The aim of the study was to assess the practice of informed consent for surgery and Anesthesia from patients’ perspective.Method: An institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted from March to May 2019. The data were collected using an interviewer-administered structured questionnaire and entered and analyzed using Microsoft Excel and SPSS version 23.Results: A total of 139 patients were interviewed in this study. Most 42(30.2%) of patients were in the age group of 29-38 years. The majority 74(53.2%) of the population were females and most 85 (61.2%) were from a rural residence. Nearly half 68 (48.9%) of the patients were informed of the benefits of the surgical procedure and 78(56.1%) of the patients were informed on the type of anesthesia to be administered while 65 (46.8% ) were not informed on any complications related to the anesthesia. About 66 (47.5%) of the patients interviewed were informed on alternatives to the surgery done. Of these patients, 39(59%) were not informed of any benefits and possible risks associated with the alternative modes of treatment. More than half 75 (54%) of the patients reported as they were understood the information provided during the pre-operative counseling and about 114 (82%) of the patients interviewed satisfied with the current process of obtaining informed consent.Conclusions and recommendation: The current practice of obtaining informed consent addressed only certain aspects of the informed consent component which reflects that patients were inadequately informed on complications related to surgery and anesthesia, alternative forms of treatment and their risks and benefits.
