Α Ι Μ : The objective of this study was to access the perceptions of mothers of newborns regarding their cooperationwith the midwife and the obstetrician in the delivery room.M A T E R I A L - M E T H O D : The sample consisted of 607 mothers living in Northern Greece. The KuopioInstrument for Mothers (KIM) was used for the data collection.R E S U L T S : All the participants gave birth in a hospital; 403 (66.4%) had vaginal delivery, while 204 (33.6%)gave birth by caesarean section. Women with a vaginal delivery had a better cooperation with the midwife and theobstetrician, in comparison to women who gave birth via caesarean section. The participant mothers had a morepositive experience from their cooperation with the obstetrician than with the midwife.C O N C L U S I O N S : The mothers’ preference for obstetrician’s care than for midwife’s care is probably due tothe commercialisation of gynaecology/obstetrics in Greece, the dramatic increase in the number of obstetriciansover the past decade, and the fact that deliveries carried out solely by midwives have almost disappeared in thecountry. Health policy makers should reinforce the current provision of maternity services and support midwivesto take a more central role during pregnancy, labour, and the postnatal period. |
