Abstract

This study was a single-blind, randomized controlled trial. We included 80 women (40 per group). We made the experimental group watch a comedy video for 18, 16, and 3 min in the latent, active, and transitional phases, respectively. We did not perform any intervention on the control group. We applied the Personal Information Form, Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and Childbirth Satisfaction Scale to all participants. We used chi-square, Wilcoxon test, and t-test to analyze the data. VAS pain scores for the experimental group (3.45 ± 1.35; 4.70 ± 1.32; 6.18 ± 1.51) were significantly lower than those for the control group (5.83 ± 2.06; 7.93 ± 1.37; 9.23 ± 0.99) at the latent, active, and transition phases of cervical dilation (p < .05). The experimental group had a significantly higher mean BSS score (27.45 ± 6.16) than the control group (14.93 ± 5.34) (p < .05). The technique of diverting attention with a comedy video was found to be effective in reducing labor pain and increasing labor satisfaction.

喜剧录像分散注意力技术对分娩疼痛和满意度的影响：一项随机对照研究。

本研究为单盲、随机对照试验。我们纳入了80名女性（每组40名）。我们让实验组分别在潜伏期、活跃期和过渡期观看18分钟、16分钟和3分钟的喜剧录像。我们没有对对照组进行任何干预。我们采用个人信息表、视觉模拟量表（VAS）和分娩满意度量表对所有参与者进行调查。我们采用卡方检验、Wilcoxon检验和t检验对数据进行分析。试验组VAS疼痛评分为(3.45±1.35；4.70±1.32；6.18±1.51)显著低于对照组(5.83±2.06；7.93±1.37；（9.23±0.99）在宫颈扩张潜伏期、活跃期和过渡期（p < 0.05）
