Filter by:Introduction: In this study, it was aimed to examine the effect of ice massage applied to the hand during episiotomy repair on perceived pain. Methods: The study was carried out in the delivery unit of a maternity hospital between April 15, 2018 and November 15, 2018 with vaginal delivery for the first time, no complication developed during the delivery, with the study group being 178 and the control group being 169 with 347 women. Immediately before the episiotomy repair was started (after exit of placenta and applying local anesthetic agent), women assigned to the study (massage) group were asked to place plastic gloves filled with ice pieces in the LI4 point on hand. This application was made for 5 minutes to the right hand and for 5 minutes to the left hand. The episiotomy was opened by the same midwife as all the women to the right mediolateral and repaired by the same midwife with the same technique and material.The ice massage was repeated until the episiotomy repair was over; total massage time and episiotomy repair time were recorded. Women were asked to mark the perceived pain level before the application and at the end of the application using the VAS (Visual Analog Scale) (perceived pain level during episiotomy repair). In the control group women were not excluded from routine practice; women were asked to mark the perceived pain level before episiotomy repair begin and at the end the repair using the VAS (Visual Analog Scale) (perceived pain level during episiotomy repair) like the study (massage) group. Data were evaluated by using chi square, student t test and ANOVA in SPSS 18.0 program. In order to carry out this study , the necessary consent was obtained from the ethics committee, institution and women.
ne of the non-pharmacological methods that provide opportunities such as massage and freedom of movement with the support of the spouse / partner is the birth dance. In order to reduce the pain perceived by the woman and provide emotional support, the birth dance is started in the active phase of the first phase of the labor and continues until the end of the first phase. The woman is given the opportunity to act rhythmically with a relaxing light music with someone she prefers (spouse / partner, mother, midwife, etc.). The hands of the pregnant woman dance in the form of swinging from left to right, on the shoulder of his wife, with music; The partner is massaged by the sacrum area. It is aimed to increase the effectiveness of the method applied by adding spouse / partner support, upright posture and massage in addition to the music and body movements that dance includes, and also to provide emotional support to the woman. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the effect of birth dance on traumatic birth perception and comfort.
Labor is the process where the cervix is prepared to allow the baby to pass from the uterine cavity to the outside world. In the ordinary course, it ends with spontaneous or instrumental vaginal delivery or cesarean section. Traditionally, the first stage in which the cervix is passively dilated in response to uterine contractions consists of the second stage in which the mother passes the baby through the vagina and the third stage, the exit of the placenta. In the first stage of labor, pain is caused by uterine contractions and pressure on the cervix. Pain is transmitted through the T10-L2 spinal nerves and is felt in the abdominal wall, waist, hips, or thighs. In the second stage, pain from the vagina and perineum is added to uterine pain. This pain is transmitted by the pudendal nerves through the S2-4 nerve roots. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of dural puncture epidural analgesia versus combined spinal-epidural analgesia with epidural volume extension on labor variables.
Primary outcome: Compare the duration of analgesia. Secondary outcome: analgesic potency of bupivacaine and fentanyl versus levobupivacaine and fentanyl.
Analysis of monitored clinically parameters during the course of labor is a seldom studied area in Taiwan and worldwide. Important monitored parameters include, fetal heartbeat, uterine contractions, oxygen saturation and blood pressure, among others.1 During labor, uterine contractions can cause pain.3 This pain may be measured using a visual analogue scale (VAS).2 The pain from uterine contractions promotes the release of hormones including cortisol which can cause decreased or irregular contractions and possibly prolong labor.3 This study aims to study the association between monitored clinical parameters and pain in women in Taiwan during labor in order to increase the understanding to safe childbirth.
*Primary: To compare the control group, women in the experimental group will have lower level of labor pain after the intervention of peanut ball usage. *Secondary: To compare the control group, women in the experimental group will have higher level of support and control after the intervention of peanut ball usage; To compare the control group, women in the experimental group will have lower level of anxiety after intervention of peanut ball usage; To compare the control group, women in the experimental group will have shorter duration of labor after intervention of peanut ball usage.
Objective: This research was conducted to determine the effects of labor dance on perceived birth pain, birth satisfaction, and neonatal outcomes. Design: This research was an experimental study with three groups. The data were collected during the active phase of labor as three groups; Dance Practitioner Midwife Group (DPMG-40 pregnant), Dancing Practitioner Spouse / Partner Group (DPSG-40 pregnant) and Control Group (CG-80 pregnant). Setting: This research was conducted at Ministry of Health Izmir Urla State Hospital between April 1, 2017 and October 31, 2017. Participants: The pregnant women in the DPMG danced with the midwives in charge of the delivery room and following the pregnancy, but those in the DPSG danced with their spouse/partners during the active phase of labor. Labor pains were measured before the labor dance was begun (when the vaginal dilatation was 4 cm) and after the labor dance (when the vaginal dilatation was 9 cm) using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). In the postpartum period, the first, fifth, and tenth-minute Apgar scores and oxygen saturation levels of the newborns were measured and recorded. The Mackey Childbirth Satisfaction Rating Scale was applied to evaluate the women's birth satisfaction at the end of the first hour. In the Control Group, only routine practices were implemented in the hospital, and data were collected as indicated in the experimental groups.
The study aimed at determining the effect of hot pack on labor pain reduction and the duration of labor in comparison with routine care. Further, the study also aimed at determining the women's satisfaction with the use of hot pack and with routine care with hypotheses: H1: Primigravid women who received hot pack in the active phase of labor will have a significantly lower mean labor pain score than those who received routine care. H2: Primigravid women who received hot pack in the active phase of labor will have significantly shorter mean labor duration than those who received routine care.
Background: This descriptive study was designed to evaluate effects and adverse effects of spinal sufentanil for relief of labor pain in primi- and multiparous women. Methods: The retrospective study design was approved by the regional Human Research Ethics Review Board, Lund, Sweden (Dnr 2015/687). The investigators included 164 (82 primi- and 82 multiparous) obstetrical patients given 10 µg of intrathecal sufentanil for labor pain. Any maternal hypotension, third- or fourth-degree perineal tear, intrapartum Cesarean section, abnormal fetal heart rate, low Apgar score, use of neonatal intensive care, postdural puncture headache, epidural blood patch, and breastfeeding problem was recorded. Major outcome measures were maternal satisfaction with pain relief, and provision of supplementary analgesia.
Stress and anxiety during childbirth have negative consequence on both mother and fetus. Previous studies have learned the effect of several intervention to reduce anxiety during labor- such as music and foot reflexology. Nevertheless, data for informative video before labor for reducing stress and anxiety are sparse. The present study aimed to review and determine the effect of informative video on anxiety, pain and outcomes of the labor in primigravida women.
