Birth Environment and Childbirth-stress, Control & Outcome
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
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.

Arms and Interventions
| Arm | 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.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Visual Analogue Stress Scale [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
- salivary amylase [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.
- Heart rate variability [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.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Perception of Childbirth Environment Scale [through study completion, an average of Postpartum 24 hours]
Using LIKERT-5, the higher the score, the better the environmental experience
