Abstract

Objective: To analyze the effect of high-quality nursing service in the delivery room on puerperae and newborns.

Methods: Clinical data of 100 puerperae who came to our hospital for delivery were analyzed in this retrospective study. The puerperae were divided into an observation group (50 cases) and a control group (50 cases) according to the nursing model they received. The observation group was given high-quality nursing, and the control group was given routine nursing. The levels of blood glucose and blood pressure, scores of Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) and Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), delivery mode, nursing satisfaction and perinatal health status were recorded and compared.

Results: After childbirth, the SAS and SDS scores in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (both P<0.05). The amniotic fluid index of the observation group was increased significantly (P<0.001). The total nursing satisfaction of the observation group was higher than that of the control group (t=14.324, P<0.001). The health status of neonates in the observation group was better than that in the control group (χ2=4.762, P=0.029). After intervention, the levels of blood glucose and blood pressure in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (both P<0.05).

Conclusion: High-quality nursing for puerperae in the delivery room improves their negative psychological emotions, which is of significance for delivery and nursing work.
