| description | Background: Childbirth preparation training courses on maternal and neonatal health increase awareness, and
capability of pregnant women in overcoming fear and anxiety and managing labor pains.
Objective: To identify the affecting factors and barriers of these courses from the perspective of their instructors.
Methods: This qualitative study of the content analysis type, has been conducted on 16 certified teachers of the
training courses of the Hamadan city in 2015. Data were collected by semi-structured in-depth interviews and
were then analyzed by using MAXQDA10 application.
Results: Participants' experiences are indicated on three main themes including the objectives of the course,
facilitators and barriers. The main objectives of the course were reported as to improve maternal and newborn
health, promote natural childbirth and preparedness for parenting and breastfeeding. The main facilitators of the
successful implementation include observing educational standards, strengthening the communication and
relationship between mothers and staff, mobilization, and the role of instructor. The major barriers are reported as
inadequate support from management system, insufficient intra-sector collaboration, poor attitude of obstetricians
and physicians, inadequate access, theory-practice gap and not intended to labor naturally.
Conclusion: The results of our study show that multiple factors are involved in the participation of pregnant
women in antenatal classes. Promoting natural childbirth requires intra-sector and inter-sectoral collaboration, as
well as the community participation. |
