Women's experiences during childbirth: a systematic review protocol

Review question / Objective: General aim of this systematic review is to synthesize available evidence on women's experiences during childbirth in health institutions and formal care settings. Specific objectives are to: 1. Describe women's experiences during childbirth in institutional health centers. 2. Classify women's experiences according to the Mother and Baby Friendly Birth Facility (MBFBF) criteria. 3. Describe prevalence of these experiences across different countries and cultures. 4. Determine the impact of childbirth experiences on self-perceived women's health on aspects related to physical, psychological and social domains. Condition being studied: This review will be framed within the context of the Mother and Baby Friendly Birth Facility (MBFBF). Women's experiences during childbirth will be classified according to the categories defined by the MBFBF. Other actions or experiences, as interventionism or different procedures applied during childbirth, will also be analyzed (Mena-Tudela et al., 2020)
