Abstract

Effectiveness of ambulation versus outcome among parturient mothers at selected Hospital, Chennai, 2015. Methodology: True experimental post test only design was adopted to position on labor outcome among parturient mothers at Sir Ivan Stedeford Hospital, Chennai. 60 parturient mothers who satisfied the inclusion criteria were selected by simple random sampling technique.Post test level of maternal outcome was assessed by using modified World Health Organization (WHO) Partograph and neonatal outcome was retrieved from neonatal records. Results: The findings of the study revealed that regarding the duration of labor in hours, the total duration was 13 hrs in group A and 17 hrs in group B and -3.59 which was greater than the table value and indicated that there was a high statistical significant difference in total duration of labor at p<0.001 level. With regard to intensity of uterine contractions, mild contractions lasted for 2.2 hrs in group A and 2.6 hrs in group B, moderate contractions lasted for 3 hrs in group A and 3.2 hrs in group B, severe contractions lasted for 1.8 hrs in group A and 1.4 hrs in group B. With regard to estimated blood loss, in group A the average amount of blood loss was 469 ml whereas in group B it was 475 ml. It shows that ambulation reduces the duration of labor but no significant differences were present in labor outcome with regard to rupture of membrane, rate of cervical dilation, mode of delivery, estimated blood loss, APGAR score and admission to NICU
