Abstract

OBJECTIVE

to gain an understanding of how women conceptualise continuity of maternity care.

DESIGN

a qualitative study involving in-depth semi-structured interviews and thematic analysis.

SETTING

a range of urban and rural public hospitals in New South Wales, Australia.

PARTICIPANTS

53 women aged 18-44 years (median age 27 years) receiving maternity care in 2011-2012.

FINDINGS

responses from women suggested five concepts of continuity: continuity of staff, continuity of relationship, continuity of information, continuity across pregnancies and continuity across locations. These concepts of continuity differed by parity and location.

CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE

continuity of maternity care has a variety of meanings to women. If health care providers are to commit to providing woman-centred maternity care it is important to recognise the diversity of women's experiences, and ensure that systems of care are flexible and appropriate to women's circumstances and needs.
