Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: A study to assess the effectiveness of allowing family members to stay with the women during the first stage of labour in reducing the level of pain perception among primi gravid mothers in selected hospital at Coimbatore. OBJECTIVES: 1. To assess the level of pain perception among primi gravid mothers during childbirth before family members to stay with the women in experimental group and control group. 2. To assess the level of pain perception among primi gravid mothers during childbirth after family members to stay with the women in experimental. 3. To compare the level of pain perception between primi gravid mothers in experimental and control group. 4. To associate the level of pain perception with selected demographic variables among primi gravid mothers. METHODOLOGY: A Quantitative approach was used to assess the effectiveness of allowing family members to stay with the women during the first stage of labour in reducing the level of pain perception among primigravida mothers. Dependent variable: Dependent variables are the effect of action of the independent variable and cannot exist by itself. In this experimental, it refers to reducing the level of pain perception of first stage of labour among primigravida mothers. Independent variable: An Independent variable is the variable that stands alone and is not dependent on any other. In this experimental, it refers family members to stay with the women during the first stage of labour. The study was conducted at Ashwin hospital, Coimbatore. It is 100 bedded, multi specialty hospital with 50 beds for maternity. There were 3 – 4 deliveries per day, 130 deliveries per month. A formal consent was obtained from Ashwin Hospital and the investigator selected 40 samples using Non Probability convenient Sampling technique. At the selection of the experimental subject, who are fulfilling the inclusive criteria were selected as a samples in both experimental and control group. A self introduction was given and the consent was obtained. The confidentiality was assured. The investigator explained the tool to the mothers and it took about 10 minutes approximately. FINDINGS: In the experimental group, the pretest level of mean pain score was 7.2 with S.D 1.5 and the post test mean score was1.5 with S.D 1.2. The calculated „t‟ value of 11 was statistically highly significant at p 0.05 level. In the control group, the pretest level of mean pain score was 7.8 with S.D 1.02 and the post test mean score was7.55 with S.D 1.46. The calculated „t‟ value of 0.6 was statistically not significant at p 0.05 level. In the experimental group that the calculated value is less than table value which indicates there is no significant association between age, education, occupation, income, religion, type of family, gestational week of pregnancy, support person in labour room, pregnancy related medical disorder, previous history of abortion. CONCLUSION: Effectiveness of allowing family members to stay with the women during the first stage of labour in reducing the level of pain perception among primigravida mothers. The calculated was ‘t’ value of 11 for level of labour pain, and the calculated ‘t’ value was 0.06 at p<0.05 level shows the effectiveness of presence of support person. There was significant association on pain perception among primi gravida mothers in experimental group with their support person. The result of this study showed that most of the mothers in experimental group had moderate pain. Based on the statistical finding its evident that provision of support person during labour was a effective intervention among mothers. There was a significant association between pain perception among mothers in experimental group with support person.
