It is important that the healthcare professionals who are with the mother at the moment of birth and afterwards, know and apply effective complementary treatment and supportive care methods, and also know their effects and limitations. The aim of this study is to determine the knowledge levels and attitudes of health personnel about complementary therapy and supportive care methods to be used in the management of labor pain and postpartum period.
A cross-sectional study included 142 midwives/nurses and physicians working in the delivery room and maternity services of mother-friendly hospitals in Manisa, Turkey, between August 2018 and April 2019. The questionnaire consisting of 25 questions evaluated the knowledge and attitudes of the participants about complementary therapy and supportive care methods.
It was found that 30.6% of the healthcare professionals participating in the study used complementary treatment and supportive care methods in their patients. The least heard method was chiropractic (6.6%), the best-known method was hydrotherapy (water birth) (5.8%) and the most used method was massage (14.0%). It was determined that the mean total attitude score of the healthcare workers on complementary treatment and supportive care methods was 18.57 ± 5.12 (range: 8-40). It was found that the education levels of healthcare professionals (z= -2.144, p<0.05) and the institutions affect (χ=23.417; p<0.05) the attitude scores.
One out of every two healthcare professionals did not have information about complementary treatment and supportive care methods. Healthcare professionals mostly have positive opinions about these methods.
在分娩时及产后陪伴母亲的医护人员了解并应用有效的辅助治疗和支持性护理方法，同时知晓其效果和局限性非常重要。本研究的目的是确定医护人员对用于分娩疼痛管理和产后阶段的辅助治疗和支持性护理方法的知识水平和态度。
一项横断面研究纳入了2018年8月至2019年4月期间在土耳其马尼萨市母婴友好医院产房和产科服务部门工作的142名助产士/护士和医生。由25个问题组成的问卷评估了参与者对辅助治疗和支持性护理方法的知识和态度。
参与研究的医护人员中，有30.6%在其患者中使用了辅助治疗和支持性护理方法。最少听说的方法是脊椎按摩疗法（6.6%），最知名的方法是水疗法（水中分娩）（5.8%），最常用的方法是按摩（14.0%）。确定医护人员对辅助治疗和支持性护理方法的平均总态度得分为18.57±5.12（范围：8 - 40）。发现医护人员的教育水平（z = -2.144，p<0.05）和机构会影响（χ=23.417；p<0.05）态度得分。
每两名医护人员中就有一名不了解辅助治疗和支持性护理方法。医护人员大多对这些方法持积极态度。
