title: Effect of new-pattern obstetrical nursing in reducing cesarean delivery rate.
abstract: Spontaneous labor is the preferred delivery way ensuring health of fetus. However, recently, more and more puerperae tend to choose cesarean. However, cesarean delivery is likely to induce various short-term and long-term potential complications, severely threatening maternal and child health. To discuss the clinical effects of new-pattern obstetrical nursing in reducing cesarean delivery rate, 680 primiparas who delivered between December 2011 and December 2013 were selected from Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Capital Medical University, China as research subjects. They were randomly divided into an observation group (n=340) and a control group (n=340). Primiparas in the observation group were taken care of by new-pattern nursing measures during pregnancy and the puerperal period, while primiparas in the control group received traditional nursing measures. Cesarean delivery rate was compared between two groups. Cesarean delivery rate was statistically significant between the observation group and the control group (21.8% vs 32.9%) (P less than 0.05). Also, it was found that, the incidence rate of perioperative complications of the observation group was much lower than the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P less than 0.05). The findings suggest that new-pattern obstetrical nursing is effective in reducing the cesarean delivery rate, therefore is worth promoting and applying in clinical practice.
