Study on the effect of delivery abdominal pressure training device applied to the second stage of labor of epidural analgesia / 中国实用护理杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the effect of the labor abdominal pressure training device on the second stage of labor and the outcome of labor in primiparas undergoing epidural analgesia.Methods:The healthy primiparas who had patient controlled epidural analgesia were randomly divided into the observation group (126 cases) and the control group (122 cases). The control group used conventional oral instruction to force after entering the second stage of labor. The women in the observation group used the labor abdominal pressure training device to guide the force. The time required to learn to exert force, the second stage of labor and the outcome of labor were observed.Results:The parturient women learned the correct time to exert force, the time of the second stage of labor, the self-efficacy score of the second stage of labor, and the post-natal fatigue score were (13.56 ± 5.32) min, (76.32 ± 10.58) min, (121.38 ± 17.52)points, (8.56 ± 0.72) points in the observation group, and (25.47 ± 7.65) min, (105.21 ± 18.41) min, (101.42 ± 14.32) points, (13.31 ± 0.46) points in the control group, the differences between the two groups were statistically significant ( t values were -10.326-11.002, all P<0.05). The maternal spontaneous delivery rate, fetal assisted delivery rate, forceps assisted delivery rate, perineal lateral cut rate, perineal median cut rate, perineal tear>Ⅰ°rate were 94.44% (119/126), 4.76% (6/126), 0.79% (1/126), 9.52% (12/126), 11.11% (14/126), 6.35% (8/126) in the observation group, and 85.25% (104/122), 12.30% (15/122), 2.46% (3/122), 29.51% (36/122), 4.10% (5/122), 9.84% (12/122) in the control group,the differences between the two groups were statistically significant ( χ2 values were 4.582-9.437, P<0.05 or 0.01). Conclusions:The use of an abdominal pressure training device for labor in patient controlled epidural analgesia for pregnant women can shorten the second stage of labor and study the time of exertion, improve the self-efficacy of the second stage of labor, reduce the degree of perineal injury and fatigue, reduce the vaginal birth rate, and help protect Mother and child are safe.
