The decentralization of health systems can have direct repercussions on maternity care.
Some inequalities can be noted in outcomes, like neonatal and child mortality in Spain. This study
aimed to make the presence of obstetric violence in Spain visible as an interterritorial equity criterion.
A descriptive, restrospective and cross-sectional study was conducted between January 2018 and
June 2019. The sample comprised 17,541 questionnaires, which represented all Spanish Autonomous
Communities. Of our sample, 38.3% perceived having suffered obstetric violence; 44.4% perceived
that they had undergone unnecessary and/or painful procedures, of whom 83.4% were not requested
to provide informed consent. The mean satisfaction with the attention women received obtained 6.94
points in the general sample and 4.85 points for those women who viewed themselves as victims of
obstetric violence. Spain seems to have a serious problem with public health and respecting human
rights in obstetric violence. Offering information to women and requesting their informed consent are
barely practiced in the healthcare system, so it is necessary to profoundly reflect on obstetric practices
with, and request informed consent from, women in Spain. [-]
