初产妇应用分娩球结合自由体位助产护理对产程及分娩结局的影响

摘要

目的 探究初产妇应用分娩球结合自由体位助产护理对产程及分娩结局的影响。方法 选择我院在2024年5月份至2025年5月份在我院分娩的40例初产妇进行研究，依据入院时间的先后顺序分成对照组和观察组，每组20例，对照组正确分娩，观察组分娩球联合自由体位，对比两组产程、分娩结局、疼痛程度。结果 两组产妇提供不同的干预措施，观察组产程更短，p<0.05，对比疼痛程度，观察组更轻，p<0.05，判断分娩结局，观察组产钳助产率低于对照组，会阴侧切率低于对照组，p<0.05；两组在产后出血与新生儿窒息发生率上差异不大，p>0.05。结论 对初产妇提供分娩球结合自由体位助产护理，可以缩短产妇的产程，减轻疼痛程度，改善分娩结局，值得在临床尝试。

Abstract

Objective To explore the effect of using a birthing ball combined with free position labor care on the labor process and delivery outcomes in primiparous women.
Methods: A total of 40 primiparous women who gave birth in our hospital from May 2024 to May 2025 were selected for this study. According to the order of admission, they were divided into a control group and an experimental group, with 20 cases in each group. The control group received standard labor care, while the experimental group used a birthing ball combined with free position labor. The labor process, delivery outcomes, and pain levels of the two groups were compared.
Results: With different interventions provided to the two groups, the labor process in the experimental group was shorter (p<0.05). In terms of pain levels, the experimental group experienced less pain (p<0.05). When assessing delivery outcomes, the experimental group showed better results (p<0.05).
Conclusion  : Providing primiparous women with labor care using a birthing ball combined with free positioning can shorten the labor process, reduce pain, and improve delivery outcomes. This approach is worthy of recommendation.
