This study involves a postal survey of women giving birth in SA and Victoria in 2007. The survey will be mailed to around 7,000 women by hospitals and home birth practitioners in early 2008, five months after women have given birth. All Indigenous women who give birth in SA and Victoria during 2008, approx. 900 women, will be invited to participate in the survey by completing the survey by mail or by interview. The study will investigate the childbirth and early postnatal experiences, physical and emotional health of representative samples of women giving birth in each state. Women living in metropolitan, regional and remote areas, and women having first and subsequent births will be included. A major aim of the study will be to monitor the impact of maternity services strategies implemented in each State, and determine whether the expansion of midwife care and other models providing continuity of care have resulted in improvements in women's overall experiences of maternity care. The study will also investigate women's experiences of psychosocial inquiry and support, explore women's views of universal postnatal home visiting programs and monitor the impact of the continuing trend towards shorter length of postnatal hospital stay on women's health after childbirth, breastfeeding and infant readmission. The impact of organisational and policy changes in maternity care has not been subject to careful or rigorous evaluation. The conduct of population-based surveys of recent mothers in Victoria provides a unique and important source of information for monitoring the impact of policy changes on maternal health and well-being, and women's experiences of maternity care. Repeating the survey, extending the survey to include women giving birth in SA and a representative sample of Indigenous women will provide valuable evidence regarding the responsiveness of maternity services and the extent to which policy changes have led to improvements in maternity care.

这项研究涉及2007年在SA和维多利亚分娩的妇女的邮政调查。这项调查将于2008年初，即妇女分娩后5个月，由医院和家庭助产士邮寄给大约7 000名妇女。2008年期间在南澳大利亚州和维多利亚州分娩的所有土著妇女，约900名妇女将被邀请参加调查，通过邮件或面谈填写调查表。这项研究将调查每个州分娩妇女的代表性样本的分娩和产后早期经历、身心健康情况。居住在大都市、区域和偏远地区的妇女以及生育第一胎和第二胎的妇女将被纳入。这项研究的一个主要目的是监测每个州实施的产妇服务战略的影响，并确定扩大助产士护理和提供连续护理的其他模式是否改善了妇女的产妇护理总体经验。该研究还将调查女性的心理社会询问和支持经历，探讨女性对普遍产后家访计划的看法，并监测产后住院时间缩短的持续趋势对女性分娩、母乳喂养和婴儿再入院后健康的影响。产妇护理方面的组织和政策变化的影响尚未得到认真或严格的评估。在维多利亚对新近母亲进行的基于人口的调查为监测政策变化对孕产妇健康和福祉的影响以及妇女的孕产护理经验提供了独特而重要的信息来源。重复进行调查，将调查范围扩大到南澳大利亚州分娩的妇女和土著妇女的代表性样本，将提供关于孕产服务的反应能力以及政策变化在多大程度上改善了孕产护理的宝贵证据。
