유도분만 사전교육이 산모의 분만경험, 상태 불안 및 분만 통증에 미치는 영향

Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of childbirth education on induction of labor to mothers on their childbirth experience, state anxiety, and labor pain. Methods: The study was designed as a quasi-experimental study in the non-equivalent control group non-synchronized design. Data were collected from January to August, 2018, and were analyzed using X₂-test, Fisher’s exact test, independent t-test, and Mann-Whitney U test. Results: The childbirth education prior to induction of labor provided to mothers scheduled to have it in the present study had no effects on their childbirth experience perception, state anxiety and labor pain. Conclusion: Childbirth education on induction of labor provided to mothers had no effects on their labor pain, state anxiety and childbirth experience perception. This is believed to be due to differences in the method and frequency of childbirth education, and it is necessary to consider the appropriate methods and contents of education for induced labor in order to alleviate the positive childbirth experience of induced labor mothers and their state anxiety and labor pain.
