Abstract: (1423 Views)
Background and Aim: Providing high-quality prenatal and postnatal care plays a crucial role (during pregnancy and at labor) in reducing maternal and neonatal mortality and complications, improving outcomes, and increasing patient satisfaction and enhancing healthcare system efficiency. This study aimed to assess the quality of intrapartum care using the Comprehensive Quality Measurement in Health Care (CQMH) model.
Materials and Methods: This was a descriptive study conducted in 2020 at Ommol banin hospital in Mashhad, Iran, including 324 mothers admitted for childbirth. Participants were selected through simple random sampling and data were collected using the CQMH questionnaire, which assesses three dimensions of care quality, namely, technical quality, service quality, and customer (client) quality. Data analysis was performed using the SPSS version 27.
Results: The overall quality index score was 80.9. Technical quality was rated as favorable (mean score: 90.3), while service quality (mean score: 79.5) and customer quality (mean score:73) were rated as moderate. As regards service quality communication, continuity of care and preventive measures had the lowest scores.
Conclusion: While the technical quality of intrapartum care was found to be satisfactory, there is a pressing need to strengthen provider–patient communication and empower mothers to actively participate in theirown care during childbirth.
