This study aimed to assess the quality of life among postmenopausal women and develop a self-instructional module on coping strategies in a rural area of Tamil Nadu.</p> <p>Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 60 postmenopausal women aged 45–55 years residing in a rural area of Tamil Nadu. Participants were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using the WHOQOL-BREF standardized 5-point Likert scale. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for analysis. A self-instructional module on coping strategies was developed and administered to enhance awareness and coping mechanisms.</p> <p>Results: The majority of participants had a fair quality of life, while reported poor quality of life. Significant associations were found between quality of life and age and monthly income. Most women demonstrated fair scores in physical, psychological, social, and environmental domains. The self- instructional module was well-received by participants.</p> <p>Conclusion: The findings highlight the need for community-based nursing interventions to improve postmenopausal women’s well-being. Nurses play a crucial role in promoting awareness, self-care practices, and coping strategies during menopause.</p> <p><strong>DOI:</strong> https://doi.org/10.24321/30505364.202602</p> <p><strong>How to cite this article: </strong></p> <p>Sree Sumathi A, Shanthi.

As per the WHO, every day in 2017, approximately 810 women died related to pregnancy that could be prevented.¹ Maternal satisfaction is the important indicator for the assessment of the quality of care provided by health personnel in the hospital.²</p> <p>Problem Statement: Assessment of maternal satisfaction with receiving maternity care among women admitted to the maternity ward in the selected hospital, Purba Bardhaman, West Bengal. Objectives: The study aims to assess maternal satisfaction with maternity care among women admitted to the maternity ward and to identify the association between this satisfaction and selected socio-demographic variables.</p> <p>Materials &amp; Methods: This descriptive study was conducted at Burdwan Medical College &amp; Hospital, Purba Bardhaman, West Bengal, for 2 years after taking ethical permission from the Institutional Ethics Committee of Burdwan Medical College &amp; Hospital, Purba Bardhaman. 200 postnatal mothers with spontaneous vaginal delivery admitted to the hospital who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were selected as the study sample by the non-probability purposive sampling technique, and their consent was taken. The semi-structured demographic questionnaire and structured maternal satisfaction questionnaire were given to participants in a paper-pencil format after explaining all the items of the questionnaires in detail for data collection. Data were tabulated, analyzed, and interpreted by using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: The findings of the study result showed that 67% (134) women had moderate satisfaction, 17% (34) women had high satisfaction and 16% (32) women had low satisfaction with the maternity care they received. Women were more satisfied with availability of hospital facilities and less satisfied with postpartum care and baby care. Mean satisfaction score was 133.61± 17.29. There was no statistically significant association between level of satisfaction and selected socio-demographic variables of the study.</p> <p>Conclusion: In conclusion, it may be safely asserted that to achieve a satisfactory level of maternal satisfaction, the health care services should be improved and provided in a systematic way. This will help increase maternal satisfaction with maternity care among women in West Bengal. This study is also helpful in nursing practice and nursing research to enhance quality of care and achieve desired satisfaction of women.</p> <p><strong>DOI:</strong> https://doi.org/10.24321/30505364.202603</p> <p><strong>How to cite this article:</strong><br />Seth B, Roy M, Bag A.

Even with improvements in obstetric care, disrespect and abuse during childbirth continue widely, negatively influencing women’s health-seeking actions and overall well-being. This narrative review consolidates evidence emphasizing the value of respectful maternity care and its effects on maternal outcomes. A review of literature from databases including PubMed, CINAHL, and Google Scholar reveals that respectful maternity care defined by dignity, privacy, autonomy, and compassionate communication leads to higher maternal satisfaction, more facility-based deliveries, lower levels of anxiety and postpartum trauma, and improved clinical outcomes. Barriers to implementation include heavy provider workloads, insufficient training, and weak policy enforcement. Obstetric and gynaecological nurses are essential in putting RMC principles into practice by fostering compassionate communication, ensuring informed consent, and standing up for patients’ rights. Incorporating RMC into nursing education, institutional procedures, and health policies is crucial for fostering positive childbirth experiences and enhancing maternal outcomes.</p> Payal Shrimali Karpagavalli Nageswaran Copyright (c) 2026 Payal Shrimali, Karpagavalli Nageswaran https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2026-07-06 2026-07-06 4 1 14 17
