Introduction: Childbirth is a special physiological process that a woman will remember for as long as she lives. Women have always had continued support from familiar persons while giving birth, mostly by another women. Men as a support person had no place in childbirth, especially since childbirth began to take place in a hospital setting which contributed to the dehumanization of childbirth. The fact that the presence of the support person is still not allowed in all Croatian maternity hospitals shows that work still needs to be done on the humanization of childbirth. The support person at the birth is part of a team whose goal is to give the best possible experience of childbirth to the person who is giving birth. The support person provides emotional, psychological, physical and communication support. The aim: To investigate the influence of the presence of the support person during childbirth on birth outcomes. Methods and examinees: Data for its preparation were collected from the book of protocols and the book of statistics for presence of support person during childbirth, at the Clinic for Gynecology and Obstetrics of the Clinical Hospital Center Rijeka. 669 cases that meet the given criteria were collected.. Findings: Analysis of the data showed that the presence of the support person at delivery reduced the number of vaginal deliveries. The presence of support person at birth increases the frequency of use of epidural analgesia, the likelihood of incision of the episiotomy and the occurrence of peritoneal trauma in childbirth. Conclusion: Regardless of the results of this research, the presence of support person should not be prohibited. The support person that wants to be present at the childbirth needs to be better educated. Considering the results of this research further research is needed.
