Quality of recovery and maternal satisfaction after caesarean delivery: a mixed-methods prospective cohort study
Authors' conclusion
Maternal satisfaction and obstetric QoR are distinct entities with a weak correlation between the two variables.
Study context
- Population
- Women after caesarean delivery
- Participants
- 300 women
- Outcome
- Correlation between patient satisfaction (MSCS) and QoR (ObsQoR-11) scores
- Follow-up
- 24 h after caesarean delivery
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
Correlation between ObsQoR-11 and MSCS scores
Significant but weak positive correlation (Spearman r)
r = 0.31
P < 0.001
Observational data: associations, not effects.
Further findings
Influence of mode of anaesthesia and urgency of procedure on correlation
- Correlation significantly influenced by mode of anaesthesia
- P < 0.001
- Correlation significantly influenced by urgency of procedure
- P = 0.005
- Greater satisfaction for a given quality of recovery (QoR) score with spinal anaesthesia and scheduled caesarean delivery
Drivers of satisfaction and dissatisfaction (qualitative)
- Quality of communication, interactions with staff and postpartum physical environment were significant determinants
