We used a cross sectional design and used an interview to collect the data, it was conducted from July to August 2016. A total of 79 women were enrolled in the study that fulfill the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The childbirth services and patient satisfaction were measured using survey instruments which wed measured the reliability and validity previously. The linier regression were applied. The majority of the patients (94,9%) were 21-40 years old, 67,1% were university graduate, 40,5% were housewife, 62% were multigravida, and 57% were delivered by cesarean section. There were significant effect between interpersonal relationship (p=0,0001), patient decision choice (p=0,001), and breastfeeding management (p=0,021) and birth satisfaction.

Abstract Background: Decreased birth satisfaction has been associated with labor induction. Yet, there is a paucity of data evaluating risk factors for decreased satisfaction associated with labor induction. We aimed to determine what factors impact low birth satisfaction in labor induction and evaluate racial disparities in birth satisfaction.Methods: We performed a prospective cohort study of women with term, singleton gestations undergoing labor induction at our institution from 1/2018-6/2018. Women completed the validated Birth Satisfaction Scale-Revised postpartum, which is subdivided into 3 domains. A total satisfaction score above the mean was classified as “satisfied”, and below as “unsatisfied.” Domain and item scores were compared by race. Results: 330 of 414 (79.7%) eligible women were included. There was no significant difference in birth satisfaction by age, body mass index, Bishop score, or induction agent. Black women were more 75% likely to be unsatisfied than non-Black women (54.0% vs. 37.2%, OR 1.75 [95%CI 1.11-2.76], p=0.037), nulliparas were more 71% likely to be unsatisfied than multiparas (54.2% vs. 40.9%, OR 1.71 [95%CI 1.09-2.67], p=0.019), and women whose labor resulted in cesarean birth were more almost 3 times more likely to be unsatisfied than women with a vaginal birth (67.4% vs. 42.3%, OR 2.82 [95%CI 1.69-4.70], p<0.001). Additionally, increased labor length quartile was associated with decreased satisfaction (p=0.003). By race, domain 3 scores, which reflect preparedness for labor, were lower for Black women. No differences were seen for domain 1 or 2.Conclusions: Black race, cesarean birth, and increasing labor length were identified as risk factors for low birth satisfaction among induced women. Further studies should explore interventions to target women at risk for low birth satisfaction.

This article reports original research that describes new mothers' experiences of birth and maternity care. Qualitative data were collected through a survey on birth satisfaction, which included space for women to provide comments about their birth and experience of care. Thirty-nine women provided comments that were analyzed using the thematic analysis method. Two themes emerged from the women's experiences: “Unexpected birth processes: expectations and reality” and “Coping with birth: the role of health-care staff.” Participants described unexpected birthing processes, their experiences of care, and maternity care staff's contributions to coping with birth. Implications for practice for childbirth professionals include promotion of physiologic birth, respectful person-centered care during all phases of perinatal care, and the value of childbirth preparation.
