Abstract:
Objective:To conduct a scoping review on the effectiveness of labor analgesia based on virtual reality in natural childbirth parturients, comprehensively understand the intervention elements, outcome indicators, effects, and limitations of virtual reality, so as to provide reference for medical and nursing staff to carry out research and clinical practice.Methods:Based on Arksey and O'Malley's scope review method, the database were systematically searched, including PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Scopus, EBSCO, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, VIP, WanFang Data, and China Biology medicine disc. The search period was from database establishment to August 9, 2023. Two researchers independently screened literature and extracted data based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, and summarized and analyzed the data.Results:A total of 15 articles were included. The intervention content of labor analgesia based on virtual reality was mostly natural landscape type, with intervention duration of 10 to 30 minutes each time, and outcome indicators such as pain and psychological status. The labor analgesia based on virtual reality could help alleviate labor pain, relieve negative emotions, shorten labor process time, and increase parturient satisfaction. There was no literature reporting the occurrence of serious adverse events, and the acceptance of parturients was well.Conclusions:The application of virtual reality for childbirth labor in parturients is feasible and effective. Further large-scale, high-quality randomized controlled trials are still needed to verify the intervention effectiveness, providing a basis for developing personalized intervention plans based on virtual reality.
