Objective: The COVID-19 pandemic had a major impact on maternity service delivery throughout the UK. This literature review aims to examine the lived experiences of women accessing care during the start of the first UK lockdown in March 2020 until the end of the third lockdown in March 2021.
Methods: A systematic literature review was undertaken using a patient, intervention, outcome (PIO) framework to identify eligible studies for inclusion. The outcomes from these studies were then examined to find common themes. Results/findings: Nine primary pieces of qualitative literature were eligible for inclusion and six broad themes were then identified. Although some benefits were expressed, such as the mitigating effect of staying at home in reducing virus transmission, women overwhelmingly voiced many negative experiences affecting their journey through pregnancy and beyond. Conclusion: Concerns over transmission of coronavirus often overlooked a holistic perspective on women's care needs. It is essential that future service delivery is informed by the voice and needs of the woman. It is also vital that further research is conducted on women in Black communities, as well as other ethnicities and under-represented groups already at increased risk of health inequalities, to understand the effects of the pandemic and its impact on these disadvantaged groups. |
