Abstract

Childbirth is an individual and complex process that represents a milestone in every woman's life. The birth episode involves a relationship between physiological and psychological processes influenced by social, environmental, organisational, and political contexts that may affect the well-being of the woman, the child and the relationship between the mother and the partner. Current health paradigms encourage users and health professionals to express their vision and reflections about the positive and negative aspects of their experiences. Therefore, this paper will analyse the experiences, emotions and feelings that mothers perceive as positive or negative in hospital birth. The results are essential for the delivery of woman-centred care in an individualized, personalized, holistic and continuous provision of woman-centred care in childbirth, respecting the values, opportunities, culture and wishes of the woman and the partner.
