| Résumé : |
Objective: This is a research protocol (with rationale) for a study to explore women's/birthing people's birth choices when opting for a vaginal birth after caesarean (VBAC), and whether they feel supported in their choices and wishes or persuaded to birth in an obstetric-led unit (OLU).
Background: Current guidance (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) 2023) advises that women who wish to attempt VBAC do so in an OLU because of the small risk (0.2—0.5%) of uterine rupture. Some studies have found that women have varying experiences when opting for a VBAC and the support they receive to attempt one can differ (Keedle et al 2022). However, there is little evidence exploring women/birthing people's birth choices when opting for a VBAC and whether they are supported to birth in a setting of their choice. The midwife's role is to discuss all the risks and benefits to enable the family to make an informed choice and advocate for the woman/birthing person if they feel unsupported in their decision (Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) 2018). Design and participants: Purposive sampling will be used to recruit 15-20 women/birthing people from a trust in northwest England (Trust A) who have experienced one previous lower-segment caesarean birth and are opting for a VBAC. Semi-structured interviews will be conducted to gather rich, in-depth data from the participants'experiences of maternity care in relation to birth choices. |
