Despite heralding doulas as the solution to America’s maternal mortality crisis, a new study shows they remain disrespected, underpaid and overextended. Learn how we can get them the support they need.
1. Questioned Authority, Autonomy and Qualifications
According to the report, 77 percent of doulas surveyed said they felt unwelcome and disrespected in hospital settings. Doulas often report that many medical providers either aren’t comfortable working with doulas, don’t understand their role and designate them as family or friend in the labor and delivery room or don’t allow them to practice fully.Forty-eight percent of respondents said they had issues feeling heard, seen or listened to when it came to their client’s care.
Despite these barriers, there is light for a way forward. Mama Glow believes we can do the following to ensure that birth workers are seen, heard, and respected, and their practices are sustained.so they can better understand the role of doulas and the many benefits of having a doula as a part of a labor and delivery team.Communication lines must be opened and all voices should be heard when it comes to patient care.
When looking to address these barriers, the government, hospitals and individuals must consider that not only will these changes benefit doulas but will also improve maternal and infant health outcomes across our nation.
