Abstract
Objective: To explore and analyze the influence of accompanying midwifery with position guidance on delivery outcomes. Methods: A total of 68 puerpera who were admitted to Dafeng People’s Hospital from April 2021 to April 2023 were recruited, grouped using odd and even number draw methods, and divided into cooperation and regular groups with 34 cases in each group. The patients in the cooperation group cooperated with the process of accompanying midwifery and position guidance, whereas the patients in the regular group had routine midwifery intervention. The delivery outcome, the duration of each labor process, the psychological state, and the amount of postpartum hemorrhage were compared between the groups. Results: The delivery outcomes of vaginal delivery and cesarean section in the cooperation group were significantly better than those in the regular group (P < 0.05). The difference was not statistically significant when comparing the cooperation group with the regular group through a lateral vaginal incision (P > 0.05). The duration of each labor process in the cooperation group was significantly shorter than in the regular group (P < 0.05). Before the intervention, the HAMD and HAMA scores of the two groups were insignificant (P > 0.05); but the HAMD and HAMA scores of the cooperation group were significantly lower than the regular group after the intervention (P < 0.05). The amount of postpartum bleeding in the cooperation group was markedly lower than that in the regular group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Accompanying midwifery and position guidance throughout the delivery process can improve delivery outcomes and increase the natural delivery rate.
