General objective: To assess the level of perceived midwifery ethical practices and how this practices affects satisfaction of expectant mothers attending antenatal clinic in Mulago Hospital.
Methodology: The research was a descriptive cross-sectional design in which quantitative and qualitative approaches were used. Data were collected from 379 respondents using questionnaires and interview guides for key informants.
Results/Findings: The study found out that ethical practices of the midwives had a significant influence on quality of service delivery, confidentiality, non-Malicence, justice, autonomy and behavior significantly contribute to quality of service delivery (b = 0.24, p = 0.00;b = 0.20, p = 0.00;b = 0.28, p = 0.00;b = 0.15,p = 0.00; b = 0.47, p = 0.00) respectively. However, the study found out that; beneficence does not significantly contribute to quality of service delivery (b = 0.030, p = 0.447). Behavior contributes most (46.5%) and autonomy contributes least (14.9%) to quality of service delivery.
Conclusions: Ethical practices of the midwives had a significant influence on quality of service delivery Behavior is more effective way of improving quality service delivery.
This would help to provide information that can help obstetrics and gynaecology department to design strategies to improve midwifery ethical practices that can contribute to quality antenatal services
Recommendations: Strengthen Ethical practice during training of student midwives, induction course, continuous professional development and training in customer care. More midwives should be employed in antenatal clinic properly supervision by trained managers who will ensure quality.
