Outcome measures
Primary outcome
To gain an estimate of the effect size (in means of improvement/change in
maternal quality of life), as well as an estimate of the variability in our
measures. (feasibility study)
Secondary outcome
Secondary Objectives: Secondary objective of this study is to gain insights
into the value of the proposition *Origo* for women and their partners and/or
relatives, medical staff and care institution. This entails the following sub
objectives:
- Gain a deep understanding of how this concept influences the woman*s
experiences before, during and after giving birth: most important secondary
objective is maternal quality of life
- Understand how this concept is used in practice by the different stakeholders
- Investigate how it affects the clinical workflow in and around the delivery
rooms
- Gather feedback on proposition for future development and improvement
Background summary
Patient consumers are becoming increasingly assertive and knowledgeable which
makes it more than ever important for a hospital to improve the quality of care
they provide in order to differentiate. As a result of this current competitive
care market, the focus of perceived user value will have to include patients*
experiences and comfort next to functionality (Ford and Myron, 2000).
In obstetrics, this trend has focused on women*s experiences of childbirth. A
delivery is one of the major events in life: a radical experience that evokes
strong emotions. A good delivery experience is crucial for the woman*s
wellbeing, health and relationship with her infant (Goodman et al., 2004;
Buitendijk, 2010 )
M. Rijnders concluded in her study that a one of six Dutch women looked back
negatively on their birth experience 3 years postpartum. Especially women who
gave birth in a hospital context are less satisfied with this (Rijnders et al.,
2008)
The *Origo* prototype consists of an iPod app and a specially adapted delivery
room. The app can be used during pregnancy as well as during labor, both at
home and in the hospital. Furthermore, the delivery room is equipped with an AE
system, which is connected to the app with which the woman and her partner are
already familiar with. It contains an interactive wall projection that is
representative of the physiological data.
Study objective
The objective of this study is to gain insights into the value of the
proposition *Origo* for women and their loved ones, medical staff and care
institution.
