Abstract

Although birth is important for every woman, birth pain is one of the most severe sources of pain. Pregnant women need qualified midwifery care to reduce labor pain, increase their ability to cope with labor pain, and have maternal satisfaction at birth. The midwife not only provides pain control with non-pharmacological methods at birth but also helps the woman and her family. The stress that occurs in the presence of uncontrolled labor pain has harmful effects on the health of the fetus, newborn, and mother. For this reason, pain should be controlled. This review article, it is aimed to contribute to the literature by examining non-pharmacological methods that can be applied mentally or physically to provide pain control in labor.

Doğum eyleminde ağrı kontrolü: nonfarmakolojik yöntemler

Abstract

Doğum her kadın için önemi olmakla birlikte, doğum ağrısı en şiddetli ağrı kaynaklarından biridir. Doğum ağrısının azaltılması, doğum ağrısına yönelik baş etme güçlerinin artırılması ve doğumda anne memnuniyetine sahip olmak için gebe kadınlar, nitelikli ebelik bakımına ihtiyaç duyar. Ebe, doğumda nonfarmakolojik yöntemlerle ağrı kontrolünü sağlamakla kalmaz kadın ve ailesine de yardım eder. Kontrol altına alınamayan doğum ağrısı varlığında oluşan stresin fetüs, yenidoğan ve annenin sağlığı üzerine zararlı etkileri bulunmaktadır. Bu sebeple ağrının kontrol altına alınması gerekmektedir. Bu derleme makale ile doğum eyleminde ağrı kontrolünü sağlamak için zihinsel ya da bedensel olarak uygulanabilecek nonfarmakolojik yöntemler incelenerek literatüre katkı sağlamak amaçlanmıştır.
