Service users’ experiences of maternity care in England informed by the Saving Babies’ Lives Care Bundle Version 2: A reflexive thematic analysis
Our findings echo maternity care needs reported elsewhere in the literature, suggesting the interventions introduced in SBLCBv2 are generally acceptable but that information about SBLCBv2 must be personalised, and clearly presented, to each individual. Professionals play an important role in service users' decision-making, and participants' perceptions of how collaborative and supportive professionals were in decision-making processes varied. Believing service users and trusting professionals are of paramount importance for ensuring service users have positive maternity care experiences.
