| Abstract | ||||
| Background: Good delivery experience is mostly dependent on support and control during the process. Aim: The current study aimed to assess women’s perception of support and control during childbirth. Design: The study design used was a cross-sectional descriptive study. Setting: The current study was conducted at Mansoura University Hospital's labor unit in Egypt. Study subjects: A purposive sample 163 parturient women were included. Instruments: A structured interviewing questionnaire and the Support and Control in Birth (SCIB) scale were the two tools utilized to gather data. Results: More than one-third of the parturient women experienced too strong pain, they were tired during labor and birth and they couldn’t control of their self. More than one-third of the studied women hadn`t control over when procedures happened, whether procedures were carried out or not and even for the decisions that were made for them. Also, the same proportion of the studied women were completely disagreed that the staff treated them and their husband with warmth and respect, listened to them more during labor and helped them to try different positions. Conclusion: More than one-third of the studied parturient women had low support and control during childbirth. Recommendation: In order to give parturient women the highest level of supportive nursing care and give them more control over their entire childbirth experience, effective supervision, guidance, and monitoring should be provided. | ||||
