The evolution of birth medicalisation: A systematic review.

Abstract:

:First described at the beginning of the 1970s, the concept of birth medicalisation has experienced a theoretical and ideological evolution influenced by the lines of research that have been associated with it. This evolution has given rise to different schools of thought concerning medicalisation, but also various methodologies used in different scientific fields. It seems relevant to propose a global synthesis of the various lines of thought related to birth medicalisation. To do this, the authors conducted a systematic literature review based on the PRISMA method. With a total of 38 occurrences in French and English, the authors scrutinised 17 databases with a publication period between 1995 and 2018. A total of 112 documents (107 articles, 3 book chapters, 2 books) has been identified, grouped and categorised into five main themes in the results section (1) the theoretical evolution of the concept of medicalisation, (2) factors related to the birth medicalisation, (3) the impact of the birth medicalisation, (4) the humanisation of birth and (5) experiences related to childbirth. A reasoned synthesis of the literature is therefore carried out in each part and then discussed according to the selected lines of research that require development in order to guarantee the best possible accompaniment to women who give birth.
