abstract = {Over the last three decades, there has been an increase in the population as a result of the
migratory flow due to the arrival of migrants to Spain, including young women of childbearing
age and with reproductive capacity. This phenomenon has made childbirth assistance an extremely
important priority in recent years. The aim of this study was to assess the satisfaction and experience
during childbirth and the postpartum period in pregnant women according to their religion after
assistance in a tertiary hospital. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on a sample
of 242 women using the validated Spanish version of the Mackey Childbirth Satisfaction Rating
Scale (MCSRS) to measure satisfaction with the childbirth experience during the months of January
to April 2021. Statistically significant differences were found in the domains of birth satisfaction
(p < 0.01), satisfaction with the obstetrician (p < 0.01), and perception of pain during labour (p < 0.01).
The Christian group of women scored higher in these three domains as compared to the Muslim
group. The rate of breastfeeding at birth was 5.26 times higher among the Muslim group compared
to the Christian group (p = 0.02). The experience of childbirth and the puerperium significantly
influenced the levels of satisfaction of pregnant women with the process of childbirth in a different
way according to the religious culture of the patient.},
