Mothers' perceptions of respectful maternity care and their parental self-confidence levels: a cross-sectional study.

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
objectiveThis study aimed to examine the relationship between mothers' perceptions of respectful maternity care and their parental self-confidence levels.
methodThis descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted online using the snowball sampling method with 425 mothers who had a baby aged 0-1 year and experienced a normal birth.
resultsThe mean age of the mothers was 28.32 ± 5.46 years. Mothers reported high levels of respectful maternity care perception. Variables such as place of birth, birth experience, medical interventions during birth, and receiving support during childbirth significantly influenced respectful maternity care perception. Additionally, a weak but positive correlation was found between respectful maternity care perception and parental self-confidence levels.
conclusionThese findings emphasize that respectful maternity care plays a key role in strengthening mothers' confidence in their parenting abilities. Enhancing supportive, non-interventionist, and positive birth environments may therefore contribute to improved maternal outcomes and a more empowering childbirth experience.
