Abstract

Background and Purpose:Consistent measurement of respectful maternity care (RMC) is lacking. This Delphi study assessed consensus about indicators of RMC.Methods:A multidisciplinary panel assessed items (n= 201) drawn from global literature. Over two rounds, the panel rated importance, relevance, and clarity, and ranked priority within 17 domains including communication, autonomy, support, stigma, discrimination, and mistreatment. Qualitative feedback supported the analysis.Results:In Round One, 191 indicators exceeded a content validation index of 0.80. In Round Two, Kendall’sWranged from 0.081 (p= .209) to 0.425 (p< .001) across domains. Fourteen indicators received strong support. Changes in indicator assessment between rounds prevented agreement stability assessment.Conclusion:The indicators comprise a registry of items for use in perinatal care research.
