Continuous Birth Support by Student Midwives and Labor Pain and Birth Satisfaction
Sponsor: Antalya Bilim University
Summary
This randomized controlled study aimed to evaluate the effect of continuous birth support provided by senior student midwives on labor outcomes, birth perception, and birth satisfaction. Pregnant women admitted for spontaneous vaginal birth were randomly assigned to either a continuous birth support group or a routine care control group. The intervention consisted of continuous non-pharmacological support provided by trained student midwives under supervision throughout labor. Primary outcomes included perceived birth pain and birth satisfaction, while secondary outcomes included birth perception and obstetric interventions.
