Abstract
Background: Semi sitting position has been found to have the advantages are enhance mother comfort, able to cope up with pain, improved fetal circulation and tend to assist for fetal descend due to gravity and shortening the duration of labour.
Aim: To assess the maternal needs both physical and psychologic as well as fetal well being
Materials and Methods: The true experimental-basic experimental post test only design with 60 primi parturient were selected by simple random sampling technique at Sri Ramakrishna Vivekananda hospital, Thiruvanmiyur, Chennai. Modified Visual analogue-numerical and categorical pain assessment scale, comfort level and fetal wellbeing were used to collect the data. The collected data was organized, tabulated, analysed and interpreted by using descriptive and inferential statistics.
Results: The calculated value of student independent t-test showed a significant difference in labour pain intensity t=19.13, P=0.001, comfort t=22.96, P=0.001 hence the research hypothesis H1 which was formulated as “there is a significant difference in labour pain intensity and comfort between experimental and control group” was accepted and proved that semisitting position increases labour pain with good uterine contraction promotes comfort, improves fetal circulation and shortening the duration of labour.
The calculated value of Chi square value showed that there was no significant difference in fetal well being x2=1.02, P=0.32 hence the research hypothesis H1 which was formulated as “there is a significant difference in fetal well being between experimental and control group” was rejected.
