简要总结
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of continuous supportive care (ICSC) at birth on some parameters of maternal psychological well-being.
详细描述
This is a single-blind randomized controlled trial. Data were collected from 80 women who gave birth in the obstetrics clinic of a state hospital in the south of Turkey between December 2020 and June 2021. Participants who met the inclusion criteria were informed about the purpose of the study and the procedures to be performed, informed consent was obtained from those who agreed to participate, and women were assigned to the groups in line with a computer-based randomization program with an allocation ratio of 1:1. Block randomization could not be performed because of the different and long delivery processes. Data were collected in both groups at birth (latent phase, active phase, and transitional phase), within 24 hours of birth, and 6th-8th postpartum days after hospital admission and at least one hour of care. collected by the first author. The CONSORT directive was followed in the planning, implementation and writing of the research.

结局指标
主要结局
Perceived control and support in birth (SCIB)
时间窗: Postpartum 24th hours
Women's perceptions of support and control at the time of birth were evaluated with the Perceived control and support in birth scale. SCIB was developed by Ford et al., (2009) to measure perceived support and control in birth. The Turkish validity and reliability of the scale were performed by Inci et al. (2015). This scale consisting of 33 items is a 5-pointLikert-type (5 = agree completely to 1 = disagree completely). Ten items are scored in reverse order. The scores ranged from 33 to 165. SCIB subscales include internal control, external control, and support. The scale has no cutoff score, higher scores are associated with a higher degree of perceived support and of control during birth. The Cronbach's alpha for the original scale was measured as .95 (Ford et al., 2009) and Turkish version was measured as 0.84 (Inci et al.,2015). In this study, this scale was administered within 24 hours postpartum.
Birth Trauma (City BITS)
时间窗: Postpartum 8 th week
Birth trauma of women were evaluated with the City Birth Trauma Scale. City BiTS was developed by Ayers et al., (2018) to measure birth trauma. The Turkish validity and reliability of the scale were performed by Bayrı Bingöl et al. (2021). The scale is a fourpoint Likert-type instrument composed of 29 items. Higher scores reflect greater risk for Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The Cronbach's alpha for the original scale was measured as .92 (Ayers et al.,2018) and Turkish version was measured as 0.91 (Bayrı Bingöl et al., 2021). In this study, 6-8 days after birth to determine whether they meet the criteria for birth trauma and birth-related PTSD.
Fear of Childbirth (DFS)
时间窗: through delivery, an average of 24th hours
Women's fears at the time of birth were evaluated with the Delivery fear scale (DFS). This scale was developed by Wijma et al (2002) for fear during delivery. The Turkish validity and reliability of the scale were performed by Sercekus et al. (2017). This scale consisting of 10 items is a 10-point Likert-type. The positive-meaning items are scored in reverse order. Therefore, the scores ranged from 10 to 100. The scale has no cutoff score, and high scores indicated higher fear.
Maternal Attachment (MAI)
时间窗: Postpartum 8 th week
Maternal attachment of women was evaluated with the Maternal Attachment Inventory. MAI, was developed by Muller (1994) to measure maternal attachment. The Turkish validity and reliability of the scale were performed by Kavlak et al. (2009). This scale consisting of 26 items is a 4-point Likert-type (4 = every time to 1 = any time). The scores ranged from 26 to 104 and high scores indicated higher maternal attachment. The Cronbach's alpha for the original scale was measured as .76 - .85 at different time (Muller, 1994) and Turkish version was measured as 0.77 (Kavlak et al., 2009). In this study, 6th to 8th postnatal days were used to measure maternal attachment.
