Abstract: Objective To explore the effect of non-invasive labor analgesia on postnatal depression among primipara. Methods Three hundred primipara of spontaneous labor in our hospital from February 2014 to April 2014 were assigned as control group and another 300 primiparas of spontaneous labor from May 2014 to August 2014 as experiment group. In the control group, one-to-one responsibility system was conducted for the delivery with an accompanying midwife and in the experiment group, non-invasive labor analgesia was done apart from one-to-one responsibility system. The two groups were compared in terms of analgesic effect at three stages of labor, postnatal depression scores and incidence of postnatal depression. Result The analgesic effect of the experiment group was better than that of the control group during the three stages of labor (all P<0.01), and postnatal depression scores and the incidence of postnatal depression in the experiment group were significantly lower than those in the control group (both P<0.05). Conclusion Non-invasive labor analgesia can relieve the labor pains and decrease the incidence of postnatal depression among primiparas.
