Developing a postnatal questionnaire to understand ethnic minority women’s experiences with obstetric anal sphincter injuries: A pilot cross-sectional study
This pilot questionnaire demonstrated feasibility and highlighted significant informational, cultural, and language barriers affecting postnatal care engagement among ethnic minority women after OASI. Further research with larger and more diverse samples, including translated and validated materials, is needed to refine the tool and inform interventions enhancing equity in postnatal care.
