With this question, I seek to explore how obstetric mistreatment affects women emotionally and physically during childbirth, generating possible trauma or distrust towards the health care system. I am also interested in identifying what changes can be implemented in obstetric care to ensure that women are treated with respect, dignity and safety, promoting a positive and violence-free birth experience.
Caring, respectful and compassionate care training to those involved in mothers care starting from antenatal care is essential to achieve safe delivery with psychological support
This topic is challenging because this is not a one way street. Birthing women with BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER often abuse wonderful caring birth practitioners who did absolutely nothing wrong. Women with borderline personality disorder make up abuse that never happened and even make complaints to the Police about things that never happened. It is very challenging for doctors and midwives to protect themselves against these people, as they often appear very normal at first. Here are 3 examples of this that midwives can learn from to try to protect themselves from ending up in court fighting against made up lies. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1T8pVAoL_uChRjCN89mfGuj_v8SOY03eF-0GeGjlPsBQ/edit?usp=sharing
What an important question! Often clinical skills especially in the hospital setting are taught without attention to counseling skills which are just as important for a patient's overall experience. Practitioners need to be aware that though they do these procedures on a daily basis, patients do not and need procedures to be explained and emotions to be affirmed as well. Family Centered Care does a great job of this. Treating families as complete humans instead of treating specific body parts.
