Background: Although emerging evidence during the past several decades suggests that psychosocial factors can directly influence both physiologic function and health outcomes, medicine had failed to move beyond the biomedical model, in part because of lack of exposure to the evidence base supporting the biopsychosocial model. The literature was reviewed to examine the efficacy of representative psychosocial-mind-body interventions, including relaxation, (cognitive) behavioral therapies, meditation, imagery, biofeedback, and hypnosis for several common clinical conditions.Methods: An electronic search was undertaken of the MEDLINE, PsycLIT, and the Cochrane Library databases and a manual search of the reference sections of relevant articles for related clinical trials and reviews of the literature. Studies examining mind-body interventions for psychological disorders were excluded. Owing to space limitations, studies examining more body-based therapies, such as yoga and tai chi chuan, were also not included. Data were extracted from relevant systematic reviews, metaanalyses, and randomized controlled trials.Results: Drawing principally from systematic reviews and meta-analyses, there is considerable evidence of efficacy for several mind-body therapies in the treatment of coronary artery disease (eg, cardiac rehabilitation), headaches, insomnia, incontinence, chronic low back pain, disease and treatmentrelated symptoms of cancer, and improving postsurgical outcomes. We found moderate evidence of efficacy for mind-body therapies in the areas of hypertension and arthritis. Additional research is required to clarify the relative efficacy of different mind-body therapies, factors (such as specific patient characteristics) that might predict more or less successful outcomes, and mechanisms of action. Research is also necessary to examine the cost offsets associated with mind-body therapies.Conclusions: There is now considerable evidence that an array of mind-body therapies can be used as effective adjuncts to conventional medical treatment for a number of common clinical conditions. Evidence emerging within the past several decades suggests that psychosocial factors from emotional states, such as depression, behavioral dispositions, such as hostility, and psychosocial stress can directly influence both physiologic function and health outcomes. [1][2][3][4] Evidence from several converging lines of research, however, also suggests that despite seemingly widespread acknowledgment of and support for the importance of the biopsychosocial model, 5-7 psycho-

“…Additionally, Tarkka and Paunonen found that specially trained caregivers not only provide needed social and emotional support to laboring women but also administer routine medical support. In a comparison between continuous and intermittent support, researchers found greater benefits from continuous support (Scott, Berkowitz, & Klaus, 1999).…”

This qualitative descriptive study determined characteristics that women deem positive in their unmedicated childbirth experience. Seventeen women were interviewed and themes were identified. All of the women reported satisfying births, adding accompanying feelings of empowerment and well-being. An overriding theme in each woman's birth story that made the birth experience positive was the ability to control her body during labor and the ability to influence the environment in which she labored and gave birth. Being able to move and change positions freely were both key factors in determining a positive birth experience. Additionally, the women expressed comfort from the presence of a spouse or trusted individual. They found the help of an experienced woman or doula important. Many were willing to change care providers to gain support for their desire for an unmedicated birth.Journal of Perinatal Education, 13(4), 10e16; unmedicated childbirth, birth experience, labor support.
