Background: Induction of labor often results in complicated childbirths and increased interventionism, which can lead to frustration and anxiety.
Objective: To analyze satisfaction with the birth process in women undergoing induction.
Methodology: Observational study. Non-probabilistic convenience sampling. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were established. The sample consisted of 46 participants. A sociodemographic and obstetric questionnaire and the Spanish version of the Mackey Childbirth Satisfaction Rating Scale.
Results: Global satisfaction was good. The newborn subscale had the highest score, while the dilatation and expulsion subscales had the lowest scores. Satisfaction with the partner and comfort was higher in women aged 30-34 years than in women aged ≥ 40 years. Global satisfaction was higher among women who had received prior information about the induction process and whose expectations had been met.
Conclusion: Global and subscale-level satisfaction were high. The results provide evidence for effective quality care to improve satisfaction levels of induced women
