AB  - BACKGROUND: Hypnosis has been increasingly used in recent years in healthcare, 
      with several applications during pregnancy, labor and birth. Yet, few studies 
      have assessed the impact of hypnosis on women's childbirth experience. AIM: This 
      systematic review examines the use and effects of hypnosis-based interventions 
      during pregnancy and childbirth on women's childbirth experience. METHODS: A 
      literature search was performed on several databases (Science Direct, PsychINFO 
      and PubMed). Published articles reporting on hypnosis-based interventions carried 
      out during pregnancy and/or childbirth that evaluated childbirth experience were 
      included in the review. The articles were assessed with the Mixed Methods 
      Appraisal Tool (MMAT). KEY FINDINGS: Nine articles met the inclusion criteria. 
      The methodological value of the articles was limited for half of the studies 
      (four studies scored 60% or less on the MMAT). Despite this methodological 
      limitation, the results suggest a positive impact of hypnosis-based interventions 
      on childbirth experience, in alleviating fear and pain and enhancing sense of 
      control during labor. The hypnosis-based interventions improved women's emotional 
      experiences and outlook towards birth, with less anxiety, increased satisfaction, 
      fewer birth interventions, more postnatal well-being and better childbirth 
      experience overall. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: The findings of this review 
      suggest that hypnosis-based interventions improve childbirth experience. Further 
      studies should be undertaken in order to better determine and develop 
      hypnosis-based interventions aiming at improving this experience. Such 
      interventions could enhance several aspects of the childbirth experience by 
      taking into account women's partners, medical and surgical history, narratives of 
      childbirth and specific aspects of complicated pregnancies that women can go 
      through.
