Abstract
Introduction: This study aimed to understand the perception of providers of the Mama Mosalisi health and maternity center perceive the rights of parturients and to explore their expectations. Method: We conducted a descriptive qualitative exploratory phenomenological study, the data collection was done through individual face-to-face interviews with 10 providers of the Maman Mosalisi Health Center (nurses, laboratory technicians, doctors, midwives), worker in the maternity ward. Results: Providers generally have a positive perception, characterized by the recognition of the rights of parturients. They affirm that it is important to respect the rights of the parturients because this respect makes it possible to avoid the bad course of the childbirth; to gain the confidence of parturients; to increase the clientele and the receipts in the structure; leads to conscientious work; and contributes to the reduction of mortality. In their experiences, service providers encounter several difficulties in the exercise of their profession; but they also recognize their failure to respect the rights of parturients, they feel this in the form of guilt. Finally, they expect managers to improve working conditions in their structure, provide for self-assessment sessions, that the State take charge of them in everything, that the organizations involved strengthen their capacities through continuous training, that researchers sensitize the public in general and parturients in particular on their rights which they are unaware of, in order to be able to claim them and reframe the practices of providers. Conclusion: These results plead in favor of concerted interventions between political and health decision-makers, the partners involved and the providers for the promotion of respectful maternity care in order to contribute to the reduction of maternal and infant mortality.
