- W4387008022 abstract "Episiotomies are still a routine procedure during childbirth in India, reflecting the misconceptions and lack of knowledge in the traditional training programs. There is a marked variation in the use of episiotomy between doctors and midwives. This study was conducted to ascertain and gain insight into this inequality in practice. Retrospective data of spontaneous vaginal births across all units of a tertiary care center in South India from 2014 to 2021 was retrieved from medical records. First the total number of episiotomies, who performed them and indications were analysed. In the second part of the study, a questionnaire was distributed among doctors and midwives to delve into their knowledge and attitudes towards using episiotomy. Of the 35253 spontaneous vaginal births over seven years, 28% had an episiotomy. Midwives performed 22% of them and obstetricians did the remaining. The most common indication was presumed fetal compromise. There was a reduction in episiotomy rates from 21% to 5% in midwifery practice and 45% to 35% for doctors over the study period. The second part of the study revealed a significant difference in the attitudes of doctors and midwives. Doctors leaned in favor of episiotomies despite the contrary evidence. Successful institution of any change in behavior needs an understanding of the perception and attitude towards the change. A focus on respectful maternity care, hospital policies based on scientific evidence and an enabling environment for training and education can avoid unnecessary birth practices not recommended for healthy pregnant women." @default.
