Research into the childbirth experience in Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao

Contribute to scientific research into childbirth experience

Are you pregnant or recently gave birth in Aruba, Bonaire or Curaçao? Or lived in Aruba, Bonaire or Curaçao during your pregnancy/birth? Then you now have the unique opportunity to contribute to a study* that can transform the future of pregnancy care on the ABC Islands. Led by local and international experts, Dr. Sanne Gordijn from the University Medical Center Groningen, Dr. Steffen van Heijningen of Scientific Consulting Curaçao, and Lysanne van Heijningen of Mirasoon, this research delves deep into the core of pregnancy experiences on the ABC islands .

*this study has been approved by the medical ethics review committee (METC) of the Curaçao Medical Center (CMC).

The goal? To use your experiences to map out what the maternity care landscape looks like, and how we can optimize this. This research focuses on the experience of pregnant women, on the experience that is central, regardless of the route taken during your pregnancy and delivery.

We ask you to complete a validated CEQ2 questionnaire (Childbirth Experience Questionaire). This allows the results from this study to be compared with other studies from other countries that also use this questionnaire. It takes 4-5 minutes to complete.
