Iranian midwives' experiences of using the World Health Organization's Safe Childbirth Checklist: A qualitative research.
Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe goal of natural childbirth care is to have a healthy mother and baby with minimal interventions that are contrary to health. Worldwide, there is concern that non-evidence-based interventions and care in labor and childbirth will remain standard practice. Therefore, access to care related to pregnancy and childbirth is considered a priority. To address safety concerns during organized births, the Safe Childbirth Checklist (SCC) was created by the World Health Organization (WHO). This checklist is a tool that combines evidence-based practices that should be provided before, during, and after childbirth. As midwives have a vital role in using this up-to-date evidence, this study was conducted to explore Iranian midwives' perception of using SCC. MATERIALS AND
methodThis qualitative study was conducted from January 2022 to April 2023 in two public (teaching and nonteaching) hospitals in Ahvaz, Iran. Seventeen semi-structured interviews were conducted with midwives who had more than one year of work experience in maternity wards. Participants were selected purposefully. A content analysis approach was used to analyze the data and extract themes.
resultsAll midwives had a positive attitude toward using SCC. The midwives' reasons for being in favor of using the checklist during the clinical procedures of childbirth are summarized in four main themes, namely "standardized maternity care practices," "SCC as a guide for performing essential childbirth practices," "self-efficacy of midwifery care," and "improved maternal and neonatal outcomes."
conclusionMidwives have endorsed this checklist as a guide to standard childbirth management. It seems that the use of this checklist will help to improve the health outcomes of mothers and babies by strengthening the self-efficacy of midwives.
