출산준비교육과 가족분만이 초산모의 불안, 분만진통 및 분만경험지각에 미치는 효과

Abstract

Purpose: This study was to consider the effect childbirth education and family participated delivery on the anxiety, labor pain and perception of childbirth experience of a primipara. Method: This study had adapted the trait anxiety out of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory(STAI), VAS(Visual Analogue Scale) for state anxiety and labor pain and perception of childbirth experience for a quasi-experimental study with a nonequivalent control group post-test design. Result: There was no significant difference of state anxiety and labor pain by childbirth education and family participated delivery. However, there was a significant difference between a delivery in LDR with a family participation and a delivery without family participation in the total length of labor. And primiparas in the childbirth education group would have a more positive perception of childbirth experience than that in the non-childbirth education. Conclusion: Family-participated delivery in LDR with childbirth education is proved to be an effective nursing intervention in shortening the length of labor and giving a positive perception of childbirth experience.
