Methods: 68 parturient women who were admitted to the department of obstetrics of our hospital from December 2020 to December 2021 were selected. According to nursing differences, 68 parturients were divided into two groups (routine and evidence-based), with 34 parturients in each group. Among them, the routine group of parturients used routine obstetrics and gynecology nursing;Evidence-based nursing was adopted in evidence-based group. The duration of labor, the incidence of maternal and child adverse outcomes and nursing satisfaction were recorded in the two groups, and negative emotions were investigated before and after nursing. Results: the first, second and third stages of labor in evidence-based group were all shorter than those in routine group (P < 0.05). The incidence of maternal and infant adverse outcomes in evidence-based group was lower than that in routine group (P < 0.05). The satisfaction degree of maternal care in routine group was lower than that in evidence-based group (P < 0.05). Before nursing, the SAS and SDS scores of the two groups were basically the same (P > 0.05). After nursing, the SAS and SDS scores of the two groups of parturients were improved, and the SAS and SDS scores of the evidence-based group were lower than those of the routine group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: the application of evidence-based nursing in obstetrics and gynecology nursing can effectively shorten the labor time, reduce the incidence of maternal and child adverse outcomes, improve the satisfaction of parturient and their families, and further reduce the occurrence of maternal negative emotions, which is worthy of clinical application.展开更多

This is due to its alleged complexity. Based on the simplified model proposed by Debdas, the so called paperless partogram, we aimed at evaluating the ability of only using the alert and action lines to prevent prolongation of labor. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study including labor records of women delivered at King Baudouin Hospital of Kinshasa (secondary level) from 01/01 till 31/12/2013. The study was approved by the Faculty Ethical Committee. Inclusion criteria were: 1) live singleton pregnancy, 2) cephalic fetal presentation, 3) lack of uterine scar, 4) monitoring in labor ward by 4 cm of cervical dilation, and 5) delivery at term. For every record, the expected time of delivery (ETD = 6 hours after 4 cm of cervical dilation) was considered “Alert EDT” to which 4 hours were added to obtain the “Action EDT”. Irrespective of other fetal and maternal features contained in the traditional partogram Alert and Action ETD were checked a posteriori on Debdas’s model to derive the appropriate outcome of labor. Results: The study included 357 participants, of which 219 primiparous and 138 multiparous. Vaginal delivery took place in 91% of cases. Full cervical dilation was achieved after 8 - 9 hours (9.5 ± 1.8 hours for primiparous and 8.4 ± 1.7 hours for multiparous women), namely 2 - 3 hours following Alert ETD). This duration is close to the Action ETD. For 32 cesarean sections (9%) final decision took place within the Alert ETD. Conclusion: Using only Alert and Action ETD was found convenient to derive appropriate measures for the outcome of labor. So, the paperless partogram is a simplified method to manage the active stage of labor that could prevent prolongation of labor in our setting.展开更多

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether breathing exercises for pregnant women during the second stage of labor have beneficial effects on maternal pain, duration of labor, and the first-minute Appearance, Pulse, Grimace, Activity and Respiration (APGAR) scores. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS AND INTERVENTIONS: This randomized clinical trial involved 250 pregnant women, who were randomly divided into two groups: intervention group (IG; n = 125) and control group (CG; n = 125). IG received one session breathing exercise training and performed breathing exercises during the second stage of labor versus the CG that did not receive any breathing exercise training. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The effects of breathing exercises on maternal pain were determined by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), duration of the second stage of labor, and the first-minute APGAR scores. RESULTS: The mean age of the participants was (23.2 _+ 4.2) (range: 18 to 42) years. Both IG and CG had similar baseline characteristics in terms of age, education level, occupation, and smoking (P 〉 0.05). The mean VAS scores of IG and CG were (88.2 +_ 6.3) and (90.5 +_ 7.0), respectively (P 〈 0.001). The duration of the second stage of labor was (369.6 + 92.0) s for IG and (440.7 + 142.5) s for CG (P 〈 0.001 ). The mean first-minute APGAR scores were (8.84 + 0.50) for IG and (8.73 + 0.89) for CG (P 〉 0.05). CONCLUSION: Based on this study, breathing exercises with deep inhalation and exhalation in pregnant women are effective in reducing the perception of labor pain and shortening the duration of the second stage of delivery. Therefore, we recommend breathing exercises as an effective modality for labor pain management and shortening the duration of labor.

From the individual preferences and budget constraints,Western Economics deduced demand curve,causing the traditional demand willingness to be built on the basis of subjective utility. From the relative labor time of economic entity,this paper discusses the relationship between labor time and price readiness,demand curve or supply curve,and establishes the market equilibrium model based on labor value. In a perfectly competitive environment,the equilibrium exchange price of the model is the ratio of labor value between two commodities,and combines demand and supply sides' recognition of commodity quantity of labor,reflecting the socially necessary labor time contained in commodities.展开更多
