Abstract
Indonesia’s Ministry of Health in cooperation with the WHO, Indonesian Obstetrics and Gynaecology Association, and Indonesian Midwives Association recommended a support person (family member) accompany women during labour and childbirth (Kementrian Kesehatan Republik Indonesia, 2013). However, in most part of Indonesia, this recommendation has not been applied properly. This study offered the women to have husband’s support during labour and childbirth in order to understand the women’s perspective of receiving support during labour and childbirth. This study used qualitative method, which was very rare, particularly in Indonesia, to investigate the women’s perception of receiving support during labour and childbirth. This study interviewed 18 women at three different times: before, during, and after childbirth. This study found three themes before childbirth, four themes during childbirth, and two themes after childbirth. Three themes before childbirth were: I have no idea, Just support me, and Provide husband with experience of the childbirth process. Four themes during childbirth were: I was pleased with the support (having the support person present was positive), It gave me companionship, It was freeing, and It was annoying. Two themes after childbirth was: Glad… calm… relax… being supported and Just let husband know the childbirth process. This study contributed a new perspective of women’s perception receiving husband’s support during labour and childbirth. Based on this finding, this study recommended maternity centres or local health care centres to provide information about the importance of support during labour and childbirth via posters. Besides that, this study recommended the Indonesian Ministry of Health to use newspapers, television, radio and social media to inform all Indonesians about the importance of support during labour and childbirth via programs, community service announcements, and advertisements.
