Abstract
A Quasi experimental study to assess the effectiveness of nipple stimulation on acceleration of uterine contraction among primi gravida mothers in Annalakshmi hospital at Vallioor, was conducted by Mrs. P. Anitha in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Science in nursing at the Sri. K. R. N. Ramachandran Naidu college of Nursing, under the Tamilnadu Dr. M. G. R Medical University. OBJECTIVES: 1. To assess the pre test level of acceleration of uterine contraction during first stage of labor among primi gravida mothers in experimental and control group. 2. To find out the effectiveness of nipple stimulation on acceleration of uterine contraction during first stage of labour among primi gravida mothers in experimental and control group. 3. To compare the pre and post test level of acceleration of uterine contraction during first stage of labour among primi gravida mothers in experimental group. 4. To compare the pre and post test level of acceleration of uterine contraction during the first stage of labour among primi gravida mothers in control group. 5. To associate the post test level of acceleration of uterine contraction during first stage of labour among primi gravida mothers in experimental and control group with their selected demographic variables. HYPOTHESES: All hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level. H1: Mean post test level of acceleration of uterine contraction among primi gravida mothers in experimental group was significantly higher than the mean post test level of acceleration of uterine contraction in control group. H2: There was a significant difference between mean pre and post test level of acceleration of uterine contraction among primi gravida mothers in experimental group. H3: There was a significant difference between mean pre and post test level of acceleration of uterine contraction among primi gravida mothers in control group. H4: There was a significant association between post test level of acceleration of uterine contraction among primi gravida mothers in experimental group with their selected demographic variables. H5: There was a significant association between post test level of acceleration of uterine contraction among primi gravida mothers in control group with their selected demographic variables. The study was based on Wiedenbach’s model. The Quantitative research approach was used. The study conducted in Annalakshmi Hospital, Vallioor. The design adopted for the study was quasi experimental with pre test post test control group design to evaluate the effectiveness of nipple stimulation on acceleration of uterine contraction. The purposive sampling was used to select 30 samples for experimental group, 30 samples for control group. The data collection tools developed for generating the necessary data were questionnaire and uterine contraction assessment scale was used to assess the nipple stimulation on acceleration of uterine contraction. The content validity of the tools were established by five clinical experts. The reliability of rating scale (r=0.8) was established by inter- rater observer method. The instrument was found to be reliable. Pilot study was conducted to find out the feasibility of the study and to plan for data analysis. Data collection was done and the data obtained were analyzed in terms of both descriptive and inferential statistics. SIGNIFICANT FINDINGS OF THE STUDY: 1. There was a significant difference between mean pre test and post test level of acceleration of uterine contraction among primi gravida mothers in experimental group (t=9.27, p<0.05). 2. There was a significant difference between mean pre and post test level of acceleration of uterine contraction among primi gravida mothers in control group (t=0.83, p<0.05). 3. There was a significant difference between mean pre test level of acceleration of uterine contraction among primi gravida mothers in experimental and control group (t=0.545, p<0.05). 4. There was a significant difference between mean post test level of acceleration of uterine contraction among primi gravida mothers in experimental and control group (t=7.969, p<0.05). 5. There was a significant association between mean post test level of acceleration of uterine contraction among primi gravida mothers in experimental and control group with their selected demographic variables (p<0.05). On the Basis of the Findings of the Study it is recommended that: 1. A study can be conducted to assess the knowledge and practice of nipple stimulation for acceleration of uterine contraction among nurse midwives. 2. A study can be conducted to assess the knowledge and attitude of other alternative therapies for labor management among nurse midwives. 3. A study can be conducted to assess the effectiveness of other nursing measures such as aromatherapy on acceleration of uterine contraction among primi gravida mothers. CONCLUSION: This study assessed the effectiveness of nipple stimulation on acceleration of uterine contraction among primi gravida mothers. There is a significant difference between experimental and control group at p>0.05 level. The primi gravida mothers who were received nipple stimulation had a significant acceleration of uterine contraction compared to the primi gravida mothers who were not received nipple stimulation.
