Reducing labour pain using non-pharmacological methods
KOPKOVÁ, Iva
This bachelor thesis monitors non-pharmacological methods during labour, evaluates their efficiency on the visual analogue scale, and finds how women view them after childbirth. The theoretical part describes phases of delivery seen by a woman in labour and a midwife, and the matter of pain and specifically the labour pain. The last section of the theoretical part characterizes the non-pharmacological methods of easing labour pain. The empirical part contents qualitative observational research and a semi-structured interview. During labour, midwives observed women fighting the pain without any help of non-pharmacological methods and then with them. They wrote all findings into a record sheet. To be a part of this research, women in labour must not have used any pharmacological methods. Women, while being recorded, answered twelve questions in the interview no more than three days after their childbirth. The research from May 2021 shows which non-pharmacological methods women in the delivery room in the hospital in České Budějovice and Český Krumlov chose to use to ease their pain. The bachelor thesis refers to the importance of non-pharmacological methods in labour, although they cannot be equal to the efficiency of pharmacological approaches. The midwives and doctors may speak about the conclusion of this thesis at professional conferences or antenatal classes.
