Objective:
To assess the satisfaction of puerperal women regarding labor and childbirth.
Method:
Analytical and cross-sectional research carried out with puerperal women at a teaching hospital. Data were collected from October to December 2020 by a sociodemographic and obstetric questionnaire and the Mackey Childbirth Satisfaction Rating Scale. The scale has 34 items divided into six domains, with a minimum score of 34 and a maximum of 170 points.
Results:
The mean score was 141 points in a sample of 243 puerperal women, with a standard deviation of 16.8. There was high satisfaction among women in all domains of the scale and low adherence to the best practices in labor and childbirth care currently recommended.
Conclusion:
The women were satisfied upon the experience. The limitation of the health education process during prenatal care may reduce the parturient' discernment and critical judgment.
