The impact of watching an educational video on possible obstetric emergencies before labor: a randomized controlled trial
Background
While the importance of providing detailed information about potential obstetric emergencies is widely acknowledged, it is often inconsistently addressed in routine care for nulliparous women.
Objective
To evaluate the effect of an educational video of possible obstetric emergencies during labor on maternal anxiety and childbirth experience among nulliparous women anticipating vaginal delivery.
Study Design
This randomized controlled trial enrolled nulliparous women at term, who were randomly assigned to an intervention group or a control group. The intervention group watched a 5-minute educational video, developed by our department, which covered the management of labor and common obstetric emergencies. The control group received standard obstetric care. Anxiety was evaluated at three distinct time points using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI): At recruitment (STAI 1), upon admission to the delivery room (STAI 2), and the postpartum (STAI 3). Both groups completed an 11-item Childbirth Experience Questionnaire (CEQ).
Results
A total of 161 participants were approached, with 127 completing the study questionnaires and included in the final analysis (63 intervention, 64 control). Baseline anxiety (STAI 1) and anxiety at admission (STAI 2) were comparable between groups. Immediate postpartum anxiety (STAI 3) was significantly lower in the video group (28 [22–33] vs 33 [26–38]; P=.01), with this reduction remaining significant in multivariable analysis (adjusted coefficient: −5.1; 95% CI: −9.2 to −1.1; P=.01). Greater anxiety reductions were observed in the video group from recruitment to postpartum (Δ STAI 3-1: −15.5 [−24 to −5] vs −9 [−18 to 0]; P=.02) and from admission to postpartum (Δ STAI 3-2: −12.5 [−20 to −3] vs −7 [−12 to 0]; P=.01). CEQ scores were similar between groups.
Conclusion
A prelabor educational video significantly reduced postpartum anxiety, highlighting its potential as a simple and scalable intervention to enhance maternal mental health.
期刊介绍:
The American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology (AJOG) is a highly esteemed publication with two companion titles. One of these is the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology Maternal-Fetal Medicine (AJOG MFM), which is dedicated to the latest research in the field of maternal-fetal medicine, specifically concerning high-risk pregnancies. The journal encompasses a wide range of topics, including:
Maternal Complications: It addresses significant studies that have the potential to change clinical practice regarding complications faced by pregnant women.
Fetal Complications: The journal covers prenatal diagnosis, ultrasound, and genetic issues related to the fetus, providing insights into the management and care of fetal health.
Prenatal Care: It discusses the best practices in prenatal care to ensure the health and well-being of both the mother and the unborn child.
Intrapartum Care: It provides guidance on the care provided during the childbirth process, which is critical for the safety of both mother and baby.
Postpartum Issues: The journal also tackles issues that arise after childbirth, focusing on the postpartum period and its implications for maternal health. AJOG MFM serves as a reliable forum for peer-reviewed research, with a preference for randomized trials and meta-analyses. The goal is to equip researchers and clinicians with the most current information and evidence-based strategies to effectively manage high-risk pregnancies and to provide the best possible care for mothers and their unborn children.
