MOTHER FRİENDLY PRACTİCES AND MATERNAL, FETAL OUTCOMES

Sponsor: Sakarya University

Summary

The "mother-friendly hospital" model aims to enhance care quality by avoiding unnecessary, non-evidence-based interventions and supporting natural physiological processes from early pregnancy to postpartum. This study evaluated the impact of mother-friendly hospital criteria on labor pain, maternal satisfaction, and maternal and fetal outcomes. Mother-friendly hospital practices emphasizing minimal intervention and physiologic support reduce labor pain, improve maternal satisfaction, and enhance neonatal outcomes. Implementing mother-friendly approaches ensures safe, high-quality, mother-centered maternity care. The results of our study showed that mother-friendly approaches increased maternal satisfaction during the childbirth process and reduced pain scores. These results revealed that mother-friendly practices not only improve the childbirth experience of women but also contribute positively to maternal and neonatal health. Therefore, supporting and expanding the integration of mother-friendly approaches into the healthcare system is of great importance for improving the quality of obstetric services.
