Abstract in brief

The review highlights that personal expectations, support from caregivers, the caregiver-patient relationship, and involvement in decision-making are the most critical factors shaping women's satisfaction with childbirth, often outweighing other elements like pain, medical interventions, or the birth environment.
While pain and pain relief during labor do influence women's satisfaction, their impact is less direct and less significant compared to the attitudes and behaviors of caregivers.
Overall, women's evaluations of their childbirth experience depend more on emotional and relational factors than solely on physical factors such as pain or medical procedures.
