Mothers and midwives perceive patient autonomy, privacy, and informed consent differently in Scottish maternity care. These differences highlight gaps in information-giving and decision-making processes for expectant mothers.

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Ethics
  • Nursing Research
  • Maternity Care

Background:

  • Healthcare ethics literature increasingly focuses on patient autonomy and rights.
  • Empirical research on patient autonomy, privacy, and informed consent in clinical practice is limited.
  • This study addresses the gap by investigating these issues in Scottish maternity care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore mothers' and midwives' perceptions of autonomy, privacy, and informed consent in Scottish NHS maternity units.
  • To identify differences in these perceptions between mothers and midwives.
  • To inform improvements in patient-centered maternity care.

Main Methods:

  • A comparative study conducted in Scottish NHS hospitals.
  • Data collected via self-completion questionnaires from mothers (n=243) and postnatal unit staff (n=170).
Keywords:

  • Analysis focused on perceptions of autonomy, privacy, and informed consent.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant differences exist between mothers' and midwives' perceptions of patient autonomy, privacy, and informed consent.
    • Discrepancies were most notable in the areas of information-giving and shared decision-making.
    • Mothers and midwives reported varying experiences regarding patient involvement in care.

    Conclusions:

    • Perceptions of patient autonomy, privacy, and informed consent in maternity care are not uniform between mothers and healthcare providers.
    • Addressing these differing perceptions is crucial for enhancing patient-centered care and shared decision-making.
    • Further research is needed to understand and reconcile these discrepancies in clinical practice.
