The Role of the Family in Childbirth: Supporting Maternal and Newborn Well-Being

Abstract

The involvement of family in the childbirth process has become a primary focus in the field of midwifery. The active participation of family members in the care of pregnant women and childbirth not only provides emotional support but also contributes significantly to the well-being of both mother and newborn. This study aims to explore the impact of family involvement in childbirth on maternal and neonatal health outcomes. The research methodology involves surveys and interviews with families who have experienced the childbirth process. Findings indicate that the role of family in childbirth has a significant positive impact on the well-being of both mother and newborn, including the reduction of childbirth complications and the enhancement of maternal satisfaction and social support.
