Abstract

Objective

To examine the effects of massage on childbirth satisfaction in women with a healthy single fetus.

Methods

In this systematic review and meta-analysis, databases in English and Persian (PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, Google Scholar, Scopus, Web of science, SID, Magiran) were systematically searched until April 28, 2022. The risk of bias for each study was assessed using Cochran's handbook and meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3 software and the quality of evidence was assessed using the GRADE approach.

Results

A total of 2286 articles were found after searching the relevant databases; among them 1319, 931, and 36 articles were screened by reviewing their titles, abstracts, and full texts, respectively. Finally, 6 articles with a sample size of 615 participants were included in this systematic review. The results of a meta-analysis on dichotomous data (OR: 4.95, 95% CI: 1.86–13.17, two trials, 110 women) and another meta-analysis on continuous data (SMD: 0.92; 95% CI: 0.20–1.65, three trials, 260 women) showed that massage had a statistically significant effect on improving childbirth satisfaction.

Conclusion

The results of this meta-analysis indicated that massage significantly improved labor satisfaction in the intervention group compared to the control group. Researchers are suggested to carry out well-designed clinical trials, use reliable tools such as the Labor Agentry Scale and Mackey Childbirth Satisfaction Rating Scale (MCSRS) to assess the effect of massage on childbirth satisfaction, and report side effects of massage in the participants as a separate outcome in future studies.

按摩对分娩满意度的影响:系统回顾和荟萃分析

目的探讨按摩对健康单胎产妇分娩满意度的影响。方法在本系统综述和荟萃分析中，系统检索了截至2022年4月28日的英文和波斯语数据库(PubMed、Cochrane Library、Embase、Google Scholar、Scopus、Web of science、SID、Magiran)。每项研究的偏倚风险采用Cochran’s handbook进行评估，meta分析采用RevMan 5.3软件进行，证据质量采用GRADE方法进行评估。结果检索相关数据库，共检索到2286篇文献;对其中1319篇、931篇、36篇论文分别通过题目、摘要、全文进行筛选。最后，本系统综述纳入6篇文章，样本量为615名参与者。二分类数据的荟萃分析结果(OR: 4.95, 95% CI: 1.86-13.17，两项试验，110名女性)和连续数据的荟萃分析结果(SMD: 0.92;95% CI: 0.20-1.65(3项试验，260名妇女)表明，按摩对提高分娩满意度有统计学意义。结论本荟萃分析结果显示，干预组与对照组相比，按摩显著提高了分娩满意度。建议研究者进行精心设计的临床试验，使用可靠的工具，如劳动中介量表和麦基分娩满意度评定量表(MCSRS)来评估按摩对分娩满意度的影响，并在未来的研究中将按摩对参与者的副作用作为单独的结果报告。
