dc.description.abstract | The study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitude and practices of Respectful Maternity Care among midwives in Holy Family Hospital, Berekum. A cross-sectional design was used to collect in-depth information for the study. The sample population was obtained using a convenient sampling technique. A total of 40 respondents were sampled for the study. The data for the study was collected by administering the questionnaire to the participants. The study found that almost all (97.5%) the respondents indicated they were aware of respectful maternity care. Majority (82.5%) of the respondents indicated they have ever taken a course covering respectful maternity care. Over half (52.5%) of the respondents correctly matched right to timely health care to abandonment, few (27.5%) of the respondents were able to correctly match freedom from harm and ill treatment to physical abuse. Almost all the respondents agreed that there is the need for service providers introduce themselves to women during labor (97.5%).The study recommended the management of the hospital should organize frequent training of midwives on respectful maternity care. Education is one strategy to promote respectful maternity care among care providers in facility-based childbirth.The study concluded that awareness of midwives on respectful maternity care was high. They demonstrated low knowledge on the various rights of RMC and their corresponding category of disrespect and abuse. Midwives demonstrated good attitudes towards respectful maternity care | |
