Nursing for Women'S Health
|January 16, 2024
Summary
An evidence-based guideline on respectful maternity care did not significantly change nurses' attitudes after three months. However, scores shifted towards a physiologic model of care, indicating potential for future positive shifts with longer exposure.
Area of Science:
- Maternal Health
- Nursing Education
- Quality Improvement
Background:
- Respectful maternity care is crucial for vulnerable laboring patients.
- Nurses' attitudes and beliefs significantly influence childbirth practices.
- Understanding these attitudes is key to identifying barriers to respectful care.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the impact of an evidence-based guideline on respectful maternity care.
- To assess changes in intrapartum nurses' attitudes and beliefs regarding childbirth practices.
Main Methods:
- A pilot quality improvement project utilized a pretest/posttest design.
- Intrapartum nurses (n=9) at a tertiary care center participated.
- Intervention included webinars, guideline access, huddles, and a journal club; attitudes measured by the Nurse Attitudes and Beliefs Questionnaire-Revised.
Main Results:
- No statistically significant change in overall nurse attitudes and beliefs after 3 months (p = .058).
- Aggregate scores increased by 5.6 points, suggesting a trend towards a physiologic model of care.
- Subscales 'Medical Model of Conflict' and 'Women's Autonomy' showed the greatest score increases.
Conclusions:
- A 3-month intervention did not yield significant changes in nurses' attitudes toward respectful maternity care.
- Increased scores in specific subscales suggest a potential shift in beliefs.
- Longer exposure to respectful maternity care programs may be necessary to effect measurable changes in attitudes and beliefs.
