At the 2\u2010month follow\u2010up, women were asked about professionals' words, gestures, and attitudes that made them feel uncomfortable, shocked, or offended during childbirth or postpartum stays. Associations between disrespectful care and maternal, obstetric, and maternity ward characteristics were assessed by robust variance Poisson regression. Multiple imputation was used for missing data, and attrition was accounted for by weighting.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Among the 7332 women analyzed, 24.8% (95% confidence interval 23.8\u201326.0) reported they experienced disrespectful care (especially words or attitudes), predominantly during the postpartum stay. They were more frequently nulliparous, had a high education level, a birth plan (adjusted relative risk [aRR] 1.20, 95% CI 1.09\u20131.32) and an instrumental or cesarean birth. Women with a psychiatric history or antenatal psychological distress were more prevalent among women experiencing disrespectful care (aRR 1.43, 95% CI 1.26\u20131.63). Disrespectful care was reported more frequently when women breastfed. No other maternal (age, place of birth, marital status), obstetric (pregnancy's level of risk, delivery complication), neonatal (term of birth, poor neonatal outcome), postpartum (duration of the stay in the unit), or maternity ward characteristics showed an association.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>A quarter of women delivering in France felt they had experienced disrespectful care during childbirth and\/or postpartum stay. Support for psychological vulnerabilities and awareness campaigns for all maternity care professionals could improve women's experiences. Professionals should address women's expectations respectfully, especially in complex childbirth situations. The healthcare system may play a role in this phenomenon, although its impact is more challenging to quantify. Interventions are necessary to promote and ensure respectful maternity care.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/aogs.15119","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,7]],"date-time":"2025-05-07T08:01:15Z","timestamp":1746604875000},"page":"1056-1069","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Frequency and determinants of words, gestures, and attitudes experienced as disrespectful during childbirth and postpartum: A national population\u2010based study"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"104","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3692-1197","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marianne","family":"Jacques","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Obstetric, Perinatal, Paediatric Life Course Epidemiology Research Team (OPPaLE), Centre for Research in Epidemiology and Statistics (CRESS), Inserm Universit\u00e9 Paris Cit\u00e9  Paris France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8307-6462","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anne Alice","family":"Chantry","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Obstetric, Perinatal, Paediatric Life Course Epidemiology Research Team (OPPaLE), Centre for Research in Epidemiology and Statistics (CRESS), Inserm Universit\u00e9 Paris Cit\u00e9  Paris France"},{"name":"Midwifery University Department Universit\u00e9 Paris Cit\u00e9  Paris France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anne","family":"Evrard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Collectif Interassociatif Autour de la Naissance (CIANE)  Paris France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nathalie","family":"Lelong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Obstetric, Perinatal, Paediatric Life Course Epidemiology Research Team (OPPaLE), Centre for Research in Epidemiology and Statistics (CRESS), Inserm Universit\u00e9 Paris Cit\u00e9  Paris France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0891-1063","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Camille","family":"Le Ray","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Obstetric, Perinatal, Paediatric Life Course Epidemiology Research Team (OPPaLE), Centre for Research in Epidemiology and Statistics (CRESS), Inserm Universit\u00e9 Paris Cit\u00e9  Paris France"},{"name":"Maternit\u00e9 Port Royal, H\u00f4pital Cochin Port Royal, Assistance Publique\u2010H\u00f4pitaux de Paris Universit\u00e9 Paris Cit\u00e9  Paris France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"name":"the ENP 2021 Study Group","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_13_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pmed.1001847"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.rhm.2016.04.002"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajog.2023.10.003"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejogrb.2024.02.048"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_6_1","unstructured":"BowserD HillK.Exploring evidence for disrespect and abuse in facility\u2010based childbirth: report of a landscape analysis.
