In several parts of the world, women are subjected to disrespectful and offensive treatment during childbirth. Humanized obstetrics or humanized childbirth has emerged as a response to this situation, and it refers to a model of comprehensive care for labor and childbirth that focuses on the respect and dignity of the woman. This study was aimed at estimating the prevalence and factors associated with humanized childbirth, as perceived by women in six major cities in Colombia. An analytical, multicenter, representative cross-sectional study was conducted in a random sample of six Colombian cities, including the country's capital. We included 1294 women who were over 14 years of age and who had an institution-assisted vaginal childbirth resulting in a live birth in 2018. The prevalence of humanized childbirth in the sample of participating cities was 32.9% (95% confidence interval, 30.4-35.5). The city of residence of the pregnant woman, the presence of health problems during pregnancy, attendance at an antenatal course, the sex of the attending professional, and the association between the involvement of an obstetrician-gynecologist and the occurrence of a humanized childbirth were examined. These results indicate the need to monitor compliance with existing regulations to ensure dignified, respectful, and humane care that prioritizes women.
在世界上的几个地区，妇女在分娩期间遭受无礼和冒犯性的待遇。人性化产科或人性化分娩应运而生，以应对这种情况，它指的是一种针对分娩的综合护理模式，注重女性的尊重和尊严。本研究旨在估计哥伦比亚六个主要城市的女性所感知的人性化分娩的患病率及相关因素。在包括该国首都在内的六个哥伦比亚城市的随机样本中进行了一项分析性、多中心、代表性横断面研究。我们纳入了1294名年龄超过14岁且在2018年通过机构辅助阴道分娩产下活婴的妇女。参与调查城市样本中人性化分娩的患病率为32.9%（95%置信区间，30.4 - 35.5）。研究了孕妇的居住城市、孕期是否存在健康问题、是否参加产前课程、主治医护人员的性别，以及妇产科医生的参与与人性化分娩发生之间的关联。这些结果表明有必要监测现行法规的遵守情况，以确保提供优先考虑女性的有尊严、受尊重和人道的护理。
