Nurses provide limited supportive care during childbirth, spending only 12.4% of their time on these activities. Key barriers include time constraints and staffing shortages, impacting the quality of nursing support for laboring women.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Nursing Research
  • Healthcare Quality Improvement

Background:

  • Supportive nursing care is recognized as crucial for women during childbirth.
  • Previous research highlights the importance of physical, emotional, and informational support.
  • Understanding the practical application of supportive care in clinical settings is essential.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To quantify the time nurses dedicate to supportive care for laboring women.
  • To identify factors influencing the provision of nursing support during childbirth.
  • To explore nurses' perceptions of supportive care and its barriers.

Main Methods:

  • An exploratory, descriptive study utilizing a work sampling method.
  • Observation of 12 nurses over six nonconsecutive shifts in a Canadian teaching hospital's birthing unit.

  • Interviews with nurses to gather perceptions on supportive care and influencing factors.

    • Main Results:

    • Nurses allocated only 12.4% of their total time to providing supportive care.
    • Nurses' perceptions of supportive care aligned with physical, emotional, informational support, and advocacy.
    • Identified barriers included lack of time, insufficient staff, and a pervasive sense of provider control.

    Conclusions:

    • A significant gap exists between perceived and actual supportive care provided by nurses during childbirth.
    • Time constraints, staffing issues, and provider control impede the delivery of optimal nursing support.
    • Strategies are needed to enhance the provision of supportive nursing care in labor and delivery settings.
