ABSTRACT:
In recent years, the relevance of ethical, psychological, social, and cultural elements of birthing across many groups has led to the promotion of respectful maternity care (RMC). Although the concept of respectful maternity care is to promote woman-centered care, respecting women's beliefs, autonomy, dignity, and preferences to reserve their right to have a companion during childbirth. RMC is a fundamental right of all women. Disrespect and abuse (D&A) are violations of fundamental ethical standards, human rights, and fundamental patient care duties. Intrapartum respectful maternity care can affect the mother’s experiences of childbirth. This article is aimed to determine the status of respectful maternity care and its relationship with childbirth experience among Indian women.
