The Effect of Perinatal Maternal Health Knowledge Explaining Combined Full-time Nursing Staff Accompanying on Maternal Labor and Pregnancy

Abstract

Objective: TO investigate the effect of perinatal maternal health knowledge explaining combined full-time nursing staff accompanying on maternal labor and pregnancy. Methods In our hospital from January 2016 to October 2018, 173 primiparas were randomly divided into control group (87 cases) and nursing group (86 cases). The control group was given perinatal routine care, the observation group was given perinatal maternal health knowledge explaining combined full-time nursing staff accompanying. The maternal psychological state, labor, pregnancy outcome and neonatal Apgar score were compared between the two groups. Results: Before the intervention, the scores of SAS (51.37±5.73) and SDS (63.32±6.17) in the nursing group were not significantly different from those in the control group (SAS 51.74±5.82 and SDS 63.47±6.21) (P>0.05). After the intervention, the SAS (37.51±3.51 points) and SDS (44.58±4.23 points) scores in the observation group were significantly lower than those control group (43.36±4.95 points, 52.46±4.51 points) (P 0.05). However, the second (25.2±4.3min) and third (8.3±2.1min) labor time of nursing group was significantly less than those of the control group (46.8±6.7min, 11.4±2.6min) ((P < 0.05). And, the pregnancy outcomes of the nursing group were significantly better than the control group ((P < 0.05). Furthermore, the Apgar score in the nursing group (9.25±1.03) was significantly higher than that in the control group (8.24±1.35) ((P < 0.05). Conclusion: Perinatal maternal health knowledge and combined with full-time nursing staff can help reduce maternal anxiety and depression, shorten labor time, improve maternal pregnancy outcomes, and improve neonatal Apgar score, which is worthy of clinical application.
