Area of Science:
- Maternal Health
- Healthcare Management
- Health Services Research
Background:
- The single-room maternity care model is an evolving approach to childbirth.
- Understanding its impact on various stakeholders is crucial for healthcare planning.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe the single-room maternity care model.
- To evaluate its influence on patient, provider, and system outcomes.
Main Methods:
- A mixed-method systematic review and narrative synthesis was conducted.
- Searches included major databases and grey literature (1985-2018).
- 13 studies were retained after rigorous screening.
Main Results:
- Maternal satisfaction was consistently positive across studies.
- Healthcare provider satisfaction demonstrated mixed findings.
