[Clinical application of inspiring psychological nursing in vaginal delivery].
A new nursing method named Inspiring Psychological Nursing was initiated and applied to 176 primigravida undergoing vaginal delivery from Jan. to Jun. 1994. 202 primigravida who received general medical care during vaginal delivery from Jan. to Jun. 1993 was served as control group. No significant differences were found between the two groups regarding to age, gestational weeks, times of pregnancy, fetal position and newborn's weight. However significant differences were found regarding the duration of the second stage of labor and incidence of newborn asphyxia. Primigravida in the control group usually delivered after 60 min. and carried a higher incidence of newborn asphyxia, being 6.7%. It's concluded that Inspiring Psychological Nursing could significantly improve pregnancy outcome.
