Choice of a maternity hospital by expectant mother
 BARKOVÁ, Lucie
The birth of a child is one of the most beautiful experiences that is remembered by the woman throughout her life. Therefore it is very important to find the right place in which she wants to give birth and to understand what she expects from such a place. The theoretical part summarizes information about maternity facilities, as well as about various alternative childbirth options. It also deals with factors that influence the choice of the maternity hospital. The practical part investigates how the mothers are informed about maternity facilities and about the factors that influence their choices of where to give birth. In order to examine the topic and to achieve the objectives a quantitative research method using anonymous questionnaires was used; the questionnaires were distributed to women who had just given birth and were hospitalized at maternity wards in the hospitals in Benešov (Nemocnice Rudolfa a Stefanie Benešov, a.s.) and in České Budějovice (Nemocnice České Budějovice, a.s.) Two objectives and related hypotheses were established. The first objective was to find out which factors influence the women when they choose maternity facilities. The other objective was to find out whether mothers preparing for the first birth decide differently than mothers who already have a child or more children. Both objectives have been met. The hypothesis 1 states that ?Clients choose such maternity facilities where they feel that they and their children are safe? and it has been confirmed. Also the hypothesis 2, stating that ?Clients prefer maternity facilities which maintain privacy of mothers giving birth?, has been confirmed. The hypothesis 3 to the effect that mothers preparing for the first childbirth (primiparas) choose maternity facilities differently than mothers who already have a child (multiparas) has not been confirmed. The theory and results of the survey may be beneficial for nurses and for development of information brochures for pregnant women attending pre-birth classes to help them to select the maternity facility, as well as for midwives in practice.
