 Amaç: Bu çalışma kadınların obstetrik şiddet deneyimlerini derinlemesine ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışma fenomenolojik desenli nitel bir araştırmadır. Çalışmaya Akdeniz Bölgesinde yer alan obstetrik şiddet türlerinden en az birini yaşayan 29 kadın dahil edilmiştir. Veriler, Eylül 2023- Şubat 2024 tarihleri arasında video konferans yoluyla bireysel derinlemesine görüşmelerle toplanmıştır. Elde edilen nitel veriler içerik analizi yöntemi ile analiz edilmiştir. Bulgular: Kadınların obstetrik şiddet deneyimlerinin olumsuz olduğu, fiziksel ve psikolojik şiddet türlerine maruz bırakıldığı ve çocuk sahibi olmayı güzel bir duygu olarak kabul ettikleri ifade edilmiştir. Kadınlar kendilerine bakım verenlerin onlara ilgi gösterme, saygılı olma ve sakin davranmalarını beklemişlerdir. Eğer kendileri bakım veren olsalardı, kadınlara daha çok açıklayıcı bilgi vereceklerini, sakin olacaklarını, sabırlı ve hassas davranacaklarını dile getirmiştirler. Sonuç: Bu çalışmada kadınların olumsuz doğum deneyimi yaşadıkları ve çeşitli obstetrik şiddet türlerine maruz kaldıkları saptanmıştır. Ayrıca kadınların doğumun yönetimine yönelik beklentilerinin olduğu belirtilmiştir.
