Abstract:

Objective

To investigate the impact of free postures combined with unprotected perineum on self-efficacy and childbirth experience in primiparas.

Methods

A total of 125 primiparas hospitalization at Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Fuyang People's Hospital from July 2019 to December 2020 were selected and divided into either an experimental group (63 cases) or a control group (62 cases) using stratified randomization method. Patients in the experimental group adopted free postures combined with unprotected perineum delivery, while patients in the control group adopted the supine position combined with anal support and perineal protection in the second stage of labor. Childbirth self efficacy, perineal injury, childbirth outcome, and childbirth experience were compared between the two groups.

Results

The scores of result efficacy, expected efficacy, and childbirth self-efficacy were significantly higher in the experimental group than in the control group [(127.43±15.22) vs (116.28±13.34), (125.36±14.21) vs (112.25±13.74), and (252.79±31.32) vs (228.53±32.14); t=3.682, 5.243, and 4.274, respectively; P<0.05 for all]. In the experimental group, the perineal integrity rate and first degree laceration rate were significantly higher than those of the control group (22.22% vs 6.45% and 52.38% vs 29.03%; χ2=6.305 and 7.053, respectively; P<0.05 for both), but second degree laceration rate and perineal lateral incision rates were significantly lower than those of the control group (4.76% vs 17.74% and 20.63% vs 46.77%; χ2=5.294 and 9.570, respectively; P<0.05 for both). In the experimental group, the natural delivery rate was higher than the control group (79.37% vs 58.06%, χ2=5.742, P<0.05), the duration of the second stage of labor was shorter than that of the control group [(46.14±7.23) min vs (58.26±8.31)min, t=8.703, P<0.05], and Apgar score of newborns was lower than that of the control group [(6.71±1.04) vs (7.86±0.92), t=6.544, P<0.05]. In the experimental group, the scores of self-competence, professional support, safety perception, participation, and delivery experience were significantly higher than those of the control group [(25.41±4.23) vs (22.28±3.46), (20.32±2.51) vs (18.76±2.16), (18.82±3.20) vs (16.65±2.42), (17.18±2.34) vs (15.62±3.21), (81.73±10.25) vs (73.31±9.56); t=4.524, 3.722, 4.271, 3.108, and 4.748, respectively; P<0.05 for all].

Conclusion

Free postures combined with unprotected perineum delivery can promote the development of self-efficacy during childbirth in primiparas, reduce perineal injury degree, improve childbirth outcome, and enhance childbirth experience.
