Mental Health Issue Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Relation Between Midwifery Education of Pregnant Women and Listening to Classical Music With the Mode of Delivery, the Length of Breastfeeding and the Incidence of Psychic Symptoms: RCT
The emotional and psychological well-being of women influence the perception and experience of pregnancy and childbirth. Pregnant women with a fear of childbirth are more likely to give birth by caesarean section. An increased risk of obstetric interventions such as planned and emergency caesarean section has been determined. Childbirth education is an intervention that has a major impact on maternity outcomes and birth experience
The emotional and psychological well-being of women significantly affects the perception and
experience of pregnancy and childbirth. Pregnant women with a fear of childbirth are more
likely to give birth by caesarean section. An increased risk of obstetric interventions such
as planned and emergency caesarean section was also identified. Childbirth education is an
intervention that has a great impact on birth outcomes and childbirth experiences.
A Cochrane systematic review found that the effects of antenatal education on childbirth and
parenting are quite unknown. In a longitudinal cohort study, on a sample of 576 women,
Bossano et al. investigated the impact of the vaginal birth method and the experience
experienced on health after a decade. It was found that women with caesarean section were
significantly more distressed than those who had delivered vaginally, and that the experience
of childbirth remains in the memory even after a decade.
A randomized controlled study conducted in Australia by Fenwick et al. divided a sample of
339 pregnant women into a test and control group measured the impact of midwifery education
on outcomes in childbirth, breastfeeding and the development of postpartum depression.
Pregnant women of the interventional group received individual psychoeducation training by
midwives in the second trimester of pregnancy. The control group did not undergo individual
training. Finally, 184 female respondents with duly completed questionnaires were included in
the analysis. In comparison with the control group, the caesarean section rate in the
interventional was clinically but not statistically significantly lower (by 8%), and the need
for an emergency caesarean section in the test group was less than 7%. There was no
difference in the assessment of postpartum depression between the two groups. At 6 weeks
postpartum, there was no statistically significant difference in the infant's diet between
the two groups. In the interventional group, 83.5% were breastfed and 78.5% in the control
group. It was concluded that the psychoeducation of pregnant women had the effect of reducing
the overall rate of caesarean section. The impact of education on psychosocial health was
found in a randomized controlled study called "Mindfulness - based program on the
psychological health of pregnant women" in a sample of 104 women, divided into an
interventional and control group. Pregnant women in the interventional group attended an
eight-week program in groups between 13 and 26 weeks of gestation and used audio recordings
at home, and had statistically significantly lower levels of stress and depression compared
to the control group when measured at 36 weeks of gestation.
The use of deep inhalation and exhalation breathing exercises has proven effective in
reducing the perception of pain in childbirth. A randomized clinical trial by Yuksel et al.
in a sample of 250 pregnant women divided into test and control groups, the aim was to
determine the effectiveness of the exercise on the perception of pain and the impact on the
Apgar score of the infant after 1 minute. Pregnant women underwent a series of exercise
training sessions and practiced during the first delivery phase to reduce stress and
relaxation. There was a statistically significant difference in the lower perception of pain
in the interventional group compared to the control group. A VAS scale of pain was used to
assess pain. There was no statistically significant difference in the value of the Apgar
score.
The therapeutic effects of listening to music on maternal and infant health have been proven
in numerous studies. A lower incidence of anxiety and depression in women, a lower perception
of pain during childbirth, a higher oxygen saturation in a newborn infant, and longer
breastfeeding were found. A unique package with selected music has not been defined, but the
choice is left to the creativity and knowledge of health professionals. A statistically
significantly lower level of pain and anxiety at all measured time intervals was determined
by a study in which a test group of 80 first-timers listened to music of their choice during
childbirth compared to a control group who underwent childbirth without listening to music.
Based on the results of various studies, it can be concluded that the influence of antenatal
education on the reduction of the rate of caesarean section in relation to vaginal delivery
and the perception of pain during childbirth. Listening to classical music and breathing
exercises significantly contribute to the reduction of labor pain, affecting the length of
breastfeeding and the mental health of women in the maternity ward. An area requiring
research is the fear of childbirth and its consequent impact on both maternity outcomes and
the mental health of women in the ward.
