This study aims at identifying determinants of satisfaction with medical care during pregnancy, a topic little explored until now. 937 women from the Montreal area answered a mailed questionnaire 4 to 7 months after giving birth. Results show a high level of satisfaction with prenatal care among respondents. Multiple regression analysis reveals that information variables emerge as the main determinants of satisfaction. In fact, not having received desired information appears as the strongest predictor; information pertaining to the delivery process is most often cited by women. The other predictors are events happening during the delivery process. Contrary to findings from other studies, sociodemographic data and characteristics of the physicians do not predict satisfaction. The discussion suggests some guidelines for the measurement of satisfaction with prenatal care as well as implications for practice.
