“…This positive feedback was due to the prototype stretcher’s convex shape, which adapted to the respiratory diaphragm and allowed free diaphragm extension, which improves oxygenation. The shape promotes physical relaxation, which is important because it reduces maternal anxiety and can have a direct and positive effect on fetal HR patterns 24. All the fetuses in this study maintained baseline fetal HRs with in normal parameters in all the positions the pregnant women assumed on the prototype stretcher.…”

OBJECTIVES:To analyze the influence of lying in prone position on a specially designed stretcher on the maternal-fetal hemodynamic parameters and comfort of pregnant women.METHODS:A randomized, controlled trial with 33 pregnant women divided into 2 groups: pregnant group sequence 1 and pregnant group sequence 2. The order of positions used in sequence 1 was Fowler’s position, prone position, supine position, left lateral, Fowler’s position 2, supine position 2, prone position 2 and left lateral 2. The order of positions used in sequence 2 was Fowler’s position, prone position, left lateral, supine position, Fowler’s position 2, left lateral 2, prone position 2 and supine position 2. Each woman remained in each position for 6 minutes. For the statistical analyses, we used Wilcoxon’s test for 2 paired samples when comparing the prone position with the other positions. The variables are presented in graphs showing the means and 95% confidence intervals. Trial Registration: Clinical Trial No. ISRCTN41359519RESULTS:All the parameters were within the standards of normality. There were no differences between positions in terms of maternal heart rate, diastolic blood pressure, oxygen saturation and fetal heart rate. However, there were significant decreases in respiratory rate and systolic blood pressure in prone position 2 compared with left lateral 2. There was an increase in oxygen saturation in prone position compared with Fowler’s position and supine position 2 in both sequences. All the women reported feeling comfortable in the prone position.CONCLUSIONS:The prone position was considered safe and comfortable and could be advantageous for improving oxygen saturation and reducing the systolic blood pressure and respiratory rate.

“…The Hickey et al study, however, examined trait anxiety in pregnant women and thus does little to demonstrate the STAI's validity in this instance. Furthermore, Faisal-Cury and Menezes cite the STAI's wide use as further rationale, consistent with most of the seven studies who utilised the STAI-S (Coplan et al, 2005;Davis et al, 2004 used the short version, Figueiredo and Costa, 2009;Gourounti et al, 2013;Kafalİ et al, 2011;Loomans et al, 2011;Manjari et al, 2002). Loomans et al for example, state the STAI is frequently used for anxiety in pregnancy yet offer no supporting evidence.…”

“…FHR analysis sometimes can be boring and anxiogenic for mother. Kafali et al [21] showed that NST has anxiogenic effects on mothers and listening to music during the test has positive impacts on both maternal and fetal parameters. In the present study, music therapy improved NST parameters.…”

Background/Aims: The control of labor pain and the prevention of suffering are major concerns of clinicians and their patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of music on labor pain and anxiety, maternal hemodynamics, fetal-neonatal parameters and postpartum analgesic requirement in primiparous women. Methods: Overall, 156 primiparous women who expected vaginal delivery were recruited and randomly assigned to a music group (n = 77) or a control group (n = 79). Women in the music group listened to music during labor. Pain intensity and anxiety level were measured using a visual analogue scale (0-10 cm). The two groups were compared in terms of pain severity, anxiety level, maternal hemodynamics, fetal-neonatal parameters and postpartum analgesic requirement. Results: Mothers in the music therapy group had a lower level of pain and anxiety compared with those in the control group at all stages of labor (p < 0.001). A signiﬁcant difference was observed between the two groups in terms of maternal hemodynamics and fetal heart rate after intervention (p < 0.01). Postpartum analgesic requirement significantly decreased in the music therapy group (p < 0.01). Conclusion: Listening to music during labor has a positive impact on labor pain and anxiety, maternal-fetal parameters and analgesic requirement.
