Identifying fundamental goals of childbirth care for women with higher body weight in Swiss maternity care: an embedded mixed methods multi-stakeholder study (Data)

The first objective of the study was to identify fundamental goals of childbirth care for women with higher body weight in Swiss maternity care to inform decision-making processes by drawing on multi-stakeholder insights. The second objective included evaluating the method used to support these stakeholders in generating a more diverse set of fundamental goals. Using an embedded mixed methods design, we engaged 21 key stakeholders (seven women with a preconceptional BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2, nine midwives, and five obstetricians) in two group workshops and eleven individual interviews to identify goals considered important for achieving the best possible childbirth care. Participants individually brainstormed childbirth care goals, selected additional goals from a pre-established masterlist and discussed them. Thereafter, participants rated the goals’ perceived importance for decision-making on a Likert scale. We thematically analyzed the goals and mapped them onto a means-ends network to identify and refine a set of fundamental goals. Methodological evaluations involved descriptive statistics and non-parametric testing.
