| Résumé : |
Background: Planning a home birth in consultation with maternity care providers is paramount. Little is known, however, about the experiences or perceptions of either
women or maternity care providers in the planning and provision of home birth services within the context of Northern Ireland (NJ). Aim: The study aimed to explore women and maternity care providers' experiences and perceptions of home birth service provision in NI. Methods: Five separate focus groups were held with women who self-reported as having planned home birth in NI since November 2018 or who were interested in home birth services, and maternity care providers who self-reported that they managed or provided home birth services or had an interest in the provision of home birth services in NI, via a secure online platform. Data were analysed using thematic analysis. Results: Thirteen women aged 20-45 years and eight maternity care providers participated in the focus groups. Data analysis yielded four descriptive themes: 1. Individual factors affecting home birth provision and access 2. Influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on home birth provision and access 3. Woman—maternity care provider relationship and interactions; and 4. Addressing structural and systemic issues in maternity care provision. While it may not always be practicable for maternity care providers to meet women's requests for home births, there is a need for trustful, unbiased and open woman—provider communication that acknowledges women's preferences and facilitates shared decision making in their choice of birth place. Conclusion: There is need for accessible evidence-based information on birthplace options that meet the needs of women, their families and maternity care providers in NI. |
