Staff in maternity-care facilities are seeing an increase in doulas, nonmedical childbirth assistants, who are trained to provide continuous physical, emotional, and informational labor support. The long-term medical and psychosocial benefits are well documented. In this article, misconceptions about the doula's role are corrected, and suggestions are offered on ways to improve communication between health care providers and doulas. Together, nurses and doulas can provide birthing women with a safe and satisfying birth.
产科护理机构的工作人员发现，导乐（非医疗分娩助手）的数量在增加。导乐接受过培训，能在分娩过程中提供持续的身体、情感和信息方面的支持。其长期的医疗和心理社会益处已有充分记录。本文纠正了对导乐角色的误解，并就改善医疗服务提供者与导乐之间沟通的方法提出了建议。护士和导乐携手可为分娩女性提供安全且令人满意的分娩体验。
