title: [Family-centered obstetrics in Hungary].
abstract: The author has carried out a survey at hospitals in Hungary to examine how general family-centred obstetrics is, and to what extent obstetrics departments are able to meet the increasing demand for this exerted by society. In the course of the survey he focused on the characteristics of obstetrics departments, the preparation for delivery and maternity, open delivery-rooms, delivery with the partner, early mother-baby contact and rooming-in, and to what extent these operate. He describes the findings on the basis of data returned by 87 maternity departments, 81.3% of the total number of institutions in the country. The data reveals that 96.6% of wards have preparatory courses for delivery and maternity, 98.8% of open-delivery rooms welcome the partner at the delivery, early mother-baby contact is possible in 97.7% and 95.6% offer rooming-in. The study gives a comprehensive view of the present state of family-centred obstetrics offering an opportunity for everyone to re-evaluate their practices and to set up new objectives so that every mother and family can have easy access to family-centred obstetrics.
