Exploring healthcare providers’ perspectives of childbirth education classes for quality of care and positive childbirth experience: an interpretative phenomenological analysis study
Receiving childbirth education about natural and instinctive childbirth was necessary for low-risk mothers to experience a positive childbirth experience. The education also enabled mothers to feel in control during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. From the results of this research the following recommendations can be made: childbirth education should be mandatory for all hospitals and primary healthcare institutions in the Kingdom and its curriculum should be standardized by the ministry of health and all healthcare providers employed in maternity care should be required to attend the standardized childbirth education programs.
