Labor support is known to support progress of normal labor. Nurses are encouraged to provide labor support yet may encounter barriers to the practice of labor support. The purpose of this secondary data analysis was to examine individual and institutional factors associated with labor support behaviors. Age and experience were individual factors related to labor support. Older and more experienced nurses reported providing more labor support. Institutional factors associated with labor support were lower rates of epidural analgesia use and cesarean surgery. These findings indicate birthing families should understand that the birth environment may influence the care that nurses give during labor. Choosing an environment that supports normal birth may be the best place for receiving labor supportive nursing care.
众所周知,分娩支持有助于正常分娩的进展。鼓励护士提供分娩支持,但他们在实施分娩支持时可能会遇到障碍。这项二次数据分析的目的是研究与分娩支持行为相关的个人和机构因素。年龄和经验是与分娩支持相关的个人因素。年龄较大且经验更丰富的护士报告称提供了更多的分娩支持。与分娩支持相关的机构因素是硬膜外镇痛的使用率和剖宫产手术率较低。这些发现表明,产妇家庭应该明白,分娩环境可能会影响护士在分娩期间提供的护理。选择一个支持自然分娩的环境可能是接受分娩支持性护理的最佳场所。
