Abstract
Women’s desire for having painless labor and delivery without use of pharmacological methods are going to decrease. Since there are wide various methods of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) for labor pain management, but there were no evidence for effect use of nature sights with nature sounds on labor pain.
Aim: To assess the effect of watching “nature sights with nature sounds” on first stage of active phase in primiparous.
Material & Method: This Randomized Control Trial was carried out in one of the educational Hospitals in North East of Iran. 60 healthy volunteer 18- 35 year old primiparous, during their active labor phase (4-7 Cm dilatation) involved the study and allocated by block randomization into the two groups of watching nature sights with nature sounds by Television, and control group with routine care. The research tools had four main parts (demographic characteristics, medical records, records of clinical examination and Visual Analogue Scale). Equality of all characteristics had been checked in the beginning of study. All ethical points were considered.
Results: Average of pain scores in the Nature Sights with Nature Sounds group were significantly lower than the control group after 60 and 90 minutes intervention (P <0.5).
Conclusion: The safe method of watching nature sight with nature sounds had positive effect for decreasing labor pain during 60 and 90 minutes after intervention, since there was no significant effect during 30 minutes intervention it is suggested to use it with other CAM for achieving better result. |
