Showering During Labor
Effects of Showering During Labor on Pain, Anxiety, Comfort, Satisfaction, and Labor Outcomes: A Randomized Controlled Trial
This study examined whether showering during labor affects pain, anxiety, comfort, satisfaction, and labor outcomes in women undergoing vaginal birth. Non-pharmacological methods are commonly used to support women during labor, and warm showering may help reduce discomfort and emotional distress during the labor process.
In this randomized controlled trial, pregnant women in active labor were assigned either to a shower group or to a control group receiving routine labor care. Women in the shower group were allowed to shower during labor under standardized conditions, while the control group received routine intrapartum care without showering. Pain and anxiety levels were assessed repeatedly during labor, while comfort and birth satisfaction were evaluated during and after birth using validated measurement tools.
The results of this study aim to contribute to evidence-based intrapartum care practices by evaluating the role of showering as a supportive intervention during labor.

実験的：Shower During Labor
Participants were allowed to shower during active labor (cervical dilation >5 cm) in a private bathroom within the labor room.
Showering was permitted at the participant's preference, for at least 20 minutes per session, with water temperature maintained between 35-40°C.
Safety measures were implemented, including accompaniment by a companion or researcher.
