“…It occurs in almost every woman in labor. Its intensity depends on many factors, such as the weight and birth length of the child, the size of the woman's pelvis, the position during labor and the individual pain threshold of a given woman [4]. There are also research results enumerating additional factors, such as the mental attitude of the mother, the course taken by labor, the level of the fear experienced and cultural features [5].…”

The aim: Women of reproductive age often think of motherhood and labor with fear of intense labor pain. The anxiety they experience can lead to their postponing pregnancy. There are not many studies in the literature that research the knowledge young women have about the analgesia of labor. The aim of the present work was to evaluate the state of awareness about the possible methods of labor analgesia among women of childbearing age. Material and methods: An Internet survey was conducted among 160 women. It consisted of questions on the pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods of labor analgesia. Most of the respondents were not medical university students (96.2%). Correct answers ranged between 11.3% and 97.5% of the total responses. Results: The greatest number of incorrect answers were given to the question regarding contraindications to labor anesthesia (only 11.3% of answers were correct). There was also a low percentage of correct answers to questions about the risk of spinal cord injury during the procedure of inducing anesthesia (18.8% of correct answers), the motor activity of a woman after analgesia (22.5%) and the reimbursement of anesthesia (29.4%). Nearly 40% of the respondents did not know the correct answer to the question about the possibility of breastfeeding after anesthesia. The problem of aalgesia during twin delivery also posed a challenge. Over half of the respondents (54.1%) incorrectly answered the question about the occurrence of complications among women who want to become pregnant again after the procedure of labor anesthesia. Moreover, 70.6% of the women surveyed considered non-pharmacological methods of labor anesthesia to be safer compared to pharmacological analgesia. The most commonly mentioned methods of non-pharmacological labor pain relief included breathing techniques and water birth. Conclusions: The study shows that women

“…Some women describe their childbirth as the most beautiful event, while others describe it as a traumatic experience. The factors that may affect a woman's satisfaction with her childbirth experience include her ability to eat during labor; the availability of pharmacological and nonpharmacological pain relief methods, including breathing techniques [4][5][6][7][8], water immersion [8][9][10][11], music therapy [12][13][14], aromatherapy [15][16][17][18], acupuncture and acupressure [8,9,19], transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) [9,20,21], and the option for assuming vertical positions during the first and second stages of labor [8,[22][23][24]; skin-to-skin contact between the newborn and the mother; and the opportunity to ask questions during labor and to discuss the birth plan and expectations concerning labor. In Poland, in accordance with the regulations set forth by the Minister of Health regarding the organizational standard of perinatal care, we proposed the preparation of a birth plan that includes the parturient's preferences and expectations, as well as all aspects of medical management during labor and the choice of delivery location [25].…”

Background and Objective: Childbirth is one of the most significant experiences in a woman’s life. The manner in which childbirth unfolds and is experienced can be influenced by various factors, including the birthing environment and the woman’s attitude and preparation. Taking a holistic view of childbirth, it becomes apparent that addressing the basic physiological needs during childbirth can significantly influence the comfort and sense of security of laboring women. The aim of this research was to assess the level of satisfaction among women with their experience during childbirth and to identify its determinants. Materials and Methods: This study included 275 women who had given birth within the past 15 years and were up to 40 years of age. The research method employed was a diagnostic survey, involving a self-designed questionnaire. Results: discussing the birth plan with the midwife, the ability to ask questions during labor, consuming meals during labor, water immersion, listening to music during labor, assuming vertical positions during the second stage of labor, and skin-to-skin contact are associated with increased satisfaction with the childbirth experience. Conclusions: The study findings revealed that the highest levels of satisfaction were reported in connection with the interactions with medical staff during childbirth and the quality of facilities available during delivery. Conversely, the lowest levels of satisfaction were associated with the possibility of using pain relief methods during labor.

“…According to the literature, over 23% of primiparas describe the pain as ‘unbearable’, 60% as ‘very strong or strong’, and only 9% as ‘bearable’. Labor pain is characterized in a slightly different way by multiparas: 17% describe the pain as ‘unbearable’, 46% as ‘very strong or strong’, and 25% as ‘bearable’ [ 14 , 15 ]. It needs to be emphasized that labor pain relief is a standard component of perinatal care [ 16 ].…”

Women’s Knowledge about Pharmacological and Non-Pharmacological Methods of Pain Relief in Labor

et al. 2023

This study aimed to assess knowledge about non-pharmacological pain-relief methods in labor among women who have given birth at least once. This cross-sectional study was conducted using an online survey among 466 adult women. The minimum sample size was estimated based on the number of labor admissions in the year before the study in Poland. The survey included questions about respondents’ sociodemographics and knowledge of pain-relief methods. The knowledge score was calculated using the sum of correct answers. Non-parametric Spearman’s correlation, Kruskal–Wallis and Wilcoxon variance tests were used. Antenatal classes (313/68.9%) and the Internet (248/54.6%) were the most common sources of knowledge. The most popular pharmacological pain-relief methods included epidural anesthesia (386/85.0%) and nitrous oxide (301/66.3%). Massage and breathing techniques were the most commonly known non-pharmacological methods (405/89.2% and 400/88.1%, respectively). The knowledge score about non-pharmacological methods was significantly higher as compared to the pharmacological methods score (rc = 0.85; p < 0.001). Respondents’ age correlated with knowledge about non-pharmacological methods (rs = −0.10,p = 0.026) but did not correlate with knowledge about pharmacological methods. Educational level correlated with knowledge about pharmacological (rs = −0.13,p = 0.007) and non-pharmacological (rs = 0.14, p = 0.003) methods concerning pain relief in labor. No correlation was found between respondents’ knowledge and gravidity, number of vaginal or cesarean deliveries, and hospital referral levels for previous deliveries. Our findings support the need to implement educational programs to increase evidence-based knowledge about pain-relief methods during labor in women.
