Application effects of health education accompanied by the spouse on non-drug delivery analgesia

Abstract

Objective To discuss the application effects of health education accompanied by the spouse on non-drug delivery analgesia. Methods A total of 224 cases of natural childbirth in Zhejiang Xiaoshan Hospital from June 2013 to May 2016 were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group, 112 cases respectively. There were three cases lost in the control group so that 109 cases were included. During the non-drug delivery analgesia, patients in the observation group received health education accompanied by the spouse, while patients in the control group received routine health education. The maternal labor time, postpartum hemorrhage amount for 24 h, labor analgesia score, analgesic effect and nursing satisfaction were compared between the two groups. Results The maternal labor time, postpartum hemorrhage amount for 24 h and pain scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group. The differences between the two groups were statistically significant (P<0.01) . There were 102 cases of maternal with grade I and below in the pain degree in the observation group, and the effective analgesia rate was 91.07%. In the control group, 37 cases of maternal with grade I and below in the pain degree were observed, and the effective rate of analgesia was 33.94%. The effective rate of analgesia in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group (Z=114.110, P<0.001) . The satisfaction with health education, service attitude, ward management, care and communication ability of patients in the observation group were higher than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (χ2=8.010, 6.884, 13.622, 8.039, 11.334; P<0.01) . Conclusions The health education accompanied by the spouse can increase the effective analgesia rate, shorten the delivery time, reduce the amount of postpartum hemorrhage, and improve the satisfaction rate of nursing.
