The Impact of Birth Environment and Childbirth-stress, Birth Control & Outcome

This research improves the correlation between birth control and birth outcomes by understanding the childbirth environment and birth stress. A Quasi Experiment research . The sample size was calculated using a two-tailed test, the significance level α was 0.05, the power was 80%, three groups of repeated measurements were taken three times, the effect size (effect size) was set to medium.25, and the required number of samples was 108 people, resulting in a 20% wastage rate, a total of 129 people are needed, so each of the three groups is expected to accept 43 people.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

Placebo Comparator: control group
Routine care for childbirth
Other: Positive Birth Environment
The intent is to surround the woman and her caregivers with specific types of auditory, visual, and tactile stim uli. One key feature of the ambient room is what is missing-the standard hospital bed. As an alternative, a portable double-sized mattress with several large pillows is set up in a corner of the room. The intent is to allow the woman freedom in positioning and to permit close contact with support people, and to limit the routine use of continuous elec tronic fetal heart rate monitoring and other technologies during normal labor. Lighting is dimmed. A wide variety of music selections are also available.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Visual Analogue Stress Scale
Time Frame: From latent phase to postpartum 2 hours
The visual analogue scale for stress is a horizontal line of 0-10 cm. It is divided into the maximum level of stress. 0 means no stress at all, and 10 means extreme stress. The individual will point out the most suitable value for the feeling at this moment. Centimeters represent one point, and fractions gradually represent a decrease in the score
From latent phase to postpartum 2 hours
salivary amylase
Time Frame: From latent phase to postpartum 2 hours
he measurement standard values are as follows: 30 kIU/L is no pressure; 31~45 kIU/L is a small amount of pressure; 46~60 kIU/L is a moderate pressure; more than 61 kIU/L is a severe pressure.
From latent phase to postpartum 2 hours
Heart rate variability
Time Frame: From latent phase to postpartum 2 hours
The heart rate variability measurement uses TS-0411 sample, wrist-type physiological monitor (approved by the Department of Health No. 5200277), with multiple built-in biological sensors, which have been calibrated before leaving the factory to achieve high accuracy.
From latent phase to postpartum 2 hours

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Perception of Childbirth Environment Scale
Time Frame: through study completion, an average of Postpartum 24 hours
Using LIKERT-5, the higher the score, the better the environmental experience
through study completion, an average of Postpartum 24 hours
