OBJECTIVE: This study explores and describes the lived experiences of postpartum women of Obstetric Violence (OV) in selected secondary health facilities in Oyo State, Nigeria.
METHODS: The study utilized a qualitative research design. A purposive sampling technique was used to recruit thirty participants for the study. A Focus Group Discussion interview guide was used as an instrument of data collection. Thematic analysis was used in analyzing the data using Collaizi's seven stages of data analysis.
RESULTS: The analyzed data on the OV experienced by postpartum women during pregnancy and childbirth generated five themes, which include verbal abuse, abandonment of care, physical abuse, non-dignified care, and non-consented care.
CONCLUSION: Addressing OV requires targeted policies promoting respectful care, healthcare provider training on ethical practices and informed consent, and improved healthcare infrastructure. Empowering women and establishing accountability systems are critical for fostering a dignified and safe maternal healthcare environment.
