Abstract
Midwives play an important role in women's childbirth-led care as they provide a protective role against maternal stress and foster deeper relationships. Midwives can significantly influence satisfaction levels, particularly when they provide consistent, high-quality, and empathetic support throughout labor and delivery, with potential positive implications on healthcare systems. This study aimed to review the current literature on indicators of maternal satisfaction with midwife care received during childbirth. A comprehensive search of the available literature regarding maternal satisfaction from midwives' caregiving was conducted using the databases PubMed and Scopus. Cumulative evidence supports the idea that midwifery care is a primordial factor in maternal satisfaction. Midwives' caregiving is pivotal in terms of maternal satisfaction from public health facilities. Given the plethora of contextual, cultural, and methodological parameters that influence maternal satisfaction, suitable and well-founded tools are needed to ensure continuous quality of care and to address current deficits in health systems. More high-quality studies need to be conducted in order to investigate the critical role of midwifery care during antenatal care.
