Abstract
Objective To investigate the childbirth experience of vaginal delivery and provide a theoretical basis for improving the quality of midwifery services. Methods From August to December in 2017, puerpera were selected from a ClassⅢ Grade A obstetrics and gynecology hospital in Beijing and a ClassⅢ Grade A general hospital using the convenient sampling method. General information questionnaire and Childbirth Experience Questionnaire 2.0 (CEQ 2.0) were used to survey the participants within 72 hours after delivery. SPSS 23.0 was used for analysis. A total of 250 questionnaires were distributed, and 240 valid questionnaires were returned. The response rate was 96.0%. Results The total score of childbirth experience was (78.30±9.21) , with perceived safety score of (17.52±3.21) , participation score of (12.06±2.24) , professional support score of (16.21±2.0) , own capability score of (20.44±3.47) . There was a statistically significant impact of expectation of childbirth method, being multipara, taking prenatal course, understanding of vaginal birth, fear or anxiety during delivery on the total score of childbirth experiences (P<0.05) . Conclusions Overall, the childbirth experience is good. Hospital staff should promote prenatal courses, provide maternity knowledge for patients, foster better understanding of delivery process, help establish appropriate childbirth expectations, reduce fear and anxiety associated with childbirth, and improve the childbirth experience.
