Abstract:
Objective:To evaluate the value of systematic education for primiparas undergoing epidural labor analgesia.Methods:A total of 240 primiparas who were suitable and voluntarily requested epidural labor analgesia, aged 20-35 yr, at 37-41 + 6 weeks gestation, with a singleton fetus, in vertex presentation without fetal abnormality, were selected.According to whether the primiparas and their accompanying family members had received systematic education on epidural labor analgesia during pregnancy, the primiparas were divided into 2 groups ( n=120 each): education group and control group.When the uterine contraction was regular and the diameter of the uterine orifice reached 2 cm or more, epidural labor analgesia was carried out.Before the begining of epidural puncture, the degree of anxiety of pregnant women was evaluated using the self-rating anxiety scale.The time of communication before analgesia, time of placing body position, and satisfaction of puerperae and their family members with labor analgesia were observed and recorded. Results:Compared with control group, the self-rating anxiety scale score was significantly decreased, the time of communication before analgesia and time of placing body position were shortened, and the rate of satisfaction of puerperae and their family members with labor analgesia was increased in education group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Systematic education is helpful in relieving the anxiety of primiparas during epidural labor analgesia, increasing the efficiency of analgesia implementation and improving the delivery experience of puerperae.
