Title

Navigating emotions, communication, and pain during prehospital labour: a mixed-methods survey with emergency ambulance services

Description

Despite their crucial role in prehospital obstetric emergencies, there is little research exploring emergency medical service (EMS) personnel’s perspectives and attitudes on out-of-hospital births, including balancing the numerous needs of the patient. Our aims were to (1) identify how EMS demographics and professional experience related to their confidence and comfort in treating a patient in labour and (2) explore EMS’ perspectives on managing emotional needs and administering analgesia in a labour and birth setting in New Zealand (NZ).
