Detailed Description
This is a prospective randomized controlled study. The investigators hypothesize that parturients with access to the website will exhibit greater satisfaction with labor and delivery pain control.
Potential participants will be recruited from the University of New Mexico Hospital (UNMH) Labor & Delivery floor. Patients will be enrolled following an oral consent process. They will be randomized into either control group or intervention group. Control group participants will have their standard of care visit with an anesthesiologist and routine hospital pain-relief information. Intervention group participants will have their standard of care visit with an anesthesiologist, plus one hour in which to view the patient education website thepainlesspush.com, on an iPad provided by the Anesthesiology department for this purpose. After their delivery and transfer to the mother/baby unit, participants will complete a satisfaction survey brought to them by a study team member. Participants will complete the survey following their delivery and prior to discharge. The primary team will notify us with expected discharge in which we will retrieve the survey from them in their room and answer any last questions. Their active participation in the study will be complete at this time. After a participant completes the satisfaction survey, research team members will collect demographic information and relevant obstetric/medical history information from the electronic medical record.
