Patient Centered Simulation For Labor and Delivery

Starting soon · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Pregnancy Related

In brief

Patient satisfaction is an important outcome in the evaluation and development of healthcare services. Studies have identified tools that successfully measure women's childbirth experiences, and have shown that multidimensional measures of women's satisfaction in labor and delivery provides a richer and diverse perspective on women's experiences of intrapartum care. Childbirth experience can have significant effects, both positive and negative, on women's immediate and long term health outcomes. Patients with negative experiences surrounding childbirth have been shown to have significant fear surrounding the labor and delivery experience that negatively impact subsequent deliveries. Often fear is worsened by a lack of knowledge of what to expect during labor. Women enrolled in this study will simulate some of the potentially stressful experiences that commonly occur during labor to determine if doing so decreases a woman's fear and anxiety about labor and delivery.
