- Abstract
Aim: This study aimed to evaluate perceptions of doctors, midwives, and patients regarding our designed delivery table shield (DTS) during second stage of vaginal deliveries ofwomen with suspected or confirmed COVID-19. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional double-center study, semi-structured questionnaires were administered to doctors/midwives (n = 224) and patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 (n = 154) with experience on use of DTS during second stage. All statistical analyses were performed using the chi-square test to compare the categorical variables and pair-wise comparisons were performed via the chi-square test. A p-value < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: Of the sample healthcare providers, 180 (80.4%) stated being safe with DTS; 204 (91.1%) stated not encountering any problem using the shield; 171 (76.3 %) thought the DTS does not complicate the intervention in any obstetric urgency. 131 (85%) of patients stated feeling safe and not having any problem; 141 (91.6%) stated that DTS did not affect mother-baby bonding and suggested vaginal delivery with DTS to expectant mothers. Conclusion: The study supported that using DTS during second stage of vaginal delivery ofwomen with suspected or confirmed COVID-19, is advantageous for obstetricians and midwives without compromising optimal labor conditions.
