Abstract

Introduction: The satisfaction of the pregnant woman is an indicator of quality of care. Knowing such level of satisfaction makes it possible to avoid errors and reaffirm strengths in order to develop health systems offering quality prenatal care.

Objective: To identify the level of satisfaction with the quality of prenatal care from the perspective of pregnant women.

Methods: A quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out within the basic work group 1 of Policlínico 5 de Septiembre, Playa, Havana, Cuba, during the year 2021. The population was 85 pregnant women. Satisfaction was measured by means of the SERVQUAL questionnaire. The analysis involved absolute frequency distribution and percentages, as well as mean and standard deviation.

Results: In the tangibility dimension, the mean in expectations was 6.19 and in perceptions 6.59 (+ 0.40). In the reliability dimension, the mean in expectations was 6.20 and in perceptions 6.59 (+ 0.39). In responsiveness, the mean in expectations was 5.85 and in perceptions 5.98 (+0.13). In confidence, the mean in expectations was 6.26 and in perceptions 6.63 (+0.37). In the empathy dimension, the mean in expectations was 6.21 and in perceptions 6.61 (+0.40).

Conclusions: The results achieved through the application of the SERVQUAL instrument made it possible to identify, from the perspective of the pregnant women, high levels of satisfaction with the quality of prenatal care provided by the basic work group 1 from Policlínico 5 de Septiembre, despite dissatisfactions manifested in the responsiveness dimension.
