THE IMPACT OF PAINLESS DELIVERY ON THE LABOR PROCESS, PAIN DEGREE, AND PREGNANCY OUTCOME OF PARTURIENTS

Abstract Objectives This study investigated the effects of painless delivery on the labor process, pain degree, and pregnancy outcomes of the parturients. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 140 parturients who delivered at our hospital in 2024. Among them, 70 parturients who underwent conventional delivery formed the control group, and 70 parturients who received painless delivery formed the observation group. The labor process, pain degree and pregnancy outcomes of the two groups were compared. Results The duration of the first stage, second stage and total stage of labor in the observation group was significantly shorter than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (p<.05). However, there was no significant difference in the third stage of labor between the two groups (p>.05). The VAS score indicated that the pain degree of the parturients in the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (p<.05). The rate of adverse pregnancy outcomes in the observation group was 7.14%, which was significantly lower than that of the control group (20.00%) (p<.05). Conclusions Painless delivery can alleviate the pain during childbirth, shorten the delivery time, and reduce the incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes. Clinically, it can be applied based on the actual situation of the parturient.
