- Selcuk University
- Brief Summary
The objective of this study was to examine the impact of the intrapartum care model that adheres to the guidelines set forth by the World Health Organization (WHO) on several key outcomes, including the mother's maternal behavior towards her infant postpartum, breastfeeding self-efficacy, the success of breastfeeding, and the mother's readiness for hospital discharge.
- Detailed Description
The study was a randomized controlled trial. The study was conducted with 128 primiparous pregnant women (intervention group n=64, control group n=64) admitted to the maternity unit of a training and research hospital in a province in the Central Anatolia region of Turkey. Pregnant women in the intervention group were provided with intrapartum care in accordance with the WHO recommendations following the achievement of cervical dilatation reaching 5 cm. The control group was provided with only standard intrapartum and postpartum care. Data were collected using a personal information form, a postpartum parenting behavior scale, a breastfeeding self-efficacy scale, a breastfeeding charting system and documentation tool (LATCH), and a hospital discharge readiness scale.

Group Intervention Description Intervention Group Intrapartum Care Model * In pregnant women with cervical dilatation of 5 cm, the Personal Information Form was completed at the initial clinic admission. * The Intrapartum Care Model was implemented for all primiparous pregnant women assigned to the intervention group during labor and after delivery by the researcher midwife, in accordance with the World Health Organization's positive birth recommendations. * The Postpartum Parenting Behavior Scale (PPBS), Breastfeeding Self-efficacy Scale (BSS), A Breastfeeding Charting System and Documentation Tool (LATCH), and Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale-New Mother Form (RHD-NMF) were administered postpartum.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Comparison of pre-intervention sociodemographic of pregnant women. 6 months Sociodemographic of pregnant women will be collected through surveys and compared and reported
Comparison of pre-intervention obstetric features of pregnant women 6 months Obstetric of pregnant women will be collected through surveys and compared and reported.
Comparison of postpartum characteristics of pregnant women 6 months Postpartum characteristics of pregnant women will be collected through surveys and compared and reported.
Comparison of mother's postpartum parenting behavior towards her baby mean scores by groups 6 months The postpartum parenting behavior scale will be applied to mothers. The postpartum parenting behavior scale is 0-6 points (min-max) and as the score increases, the level of positive parenting behaviors of mothers towards their babies increases.
Comparison of mother's breastfeeding self-efficacy scale mean scores by groups 6 months The breastfeeding self-efficacy scale will be applied to mothers. The breastfeeding self-efficacy scale is 14-70 points (min-max) and as the score increases, the breastfeeding self-efficacy of the mothers increases.
Comparison of mother's A Breastfeeding Charting System and Documentation Tool (LATCH) mean scores by groups 6 months The Breastfeeding Charting System and Documentation Tool (LATCH) will be applied to mothers.
The LATCH is 0-10 points (min-max) and as the score increases, the LATCH of the mothers increases.Comparison of mother's readiness for hospital discharge scale-new mother form mean scores by groups 6 months The readiness for hospital discharge scale-new motherwill be applied to mothers.
The readiness for hospital discharge scale-new mother is 0-220 points (min-max) and as the score increases shows that the mothers is sufficiently ready for discharge.
