The audit was conducted among leading perinatal centers of the Urals Federal District (UFD) and included department heads, doctors and patients — some by personal interview, others by written questionnaires. We found that in the perinatal centers there is virtually no organized work to prepare pregnant women for childbirth. The percentage of partnership-supported labors varies from 0 to 48.5 % (in two centers partner-supported labors do not take place at all). In most institutions partner-supported childbirth rate does not exceed 10–12 %, although the technology is available and free. Rooming-in mothers and term infants implemented everywhere, but mothers and preterm infants are often separated. Thus, it is necessary to continue the implementation of perinatal practices, namely, family-oriented technology which should be an essential indicator parameters of perinatal audit in the leading perinatal centers in the Urals Federal District.
