Humanized intrapartum care, including continuous midwife support, significantly increased spontaneous vaginal delivery rates. This approach also reduced cesarean sections, postpartum hemorrhage, and neonatal complications, improving maternal and infant outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Maternal-Fetal Medicine
  • Midwifery Care

Background:

  • Humanized care and healthy birth practices are increasingly recognized for their potential impact on maternal and neonatal well-being.
  • Understanding the specific effects of continuous support during labor is crucial for optimizing birth outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of humanized intrapartum care, characterized by continuous midwife support, on maternal and neonatal outcomes.
  • To compare the effectiveness of humanized care versus traditional management in a multicenter setting.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective, randomized controlled trial involving 6,758 laboring women across nine maternity hospitals.
  • The study group received continuous midwife support throughout labor and postpartum, adhering to WHO guidelines for normal birth.

  • The control group received traditional maternity management.

    • Main Results:

    • The study group demonstrated a significantly higher spontaneous delivery rate (85.5% vs. 66.0%, P < 0.01).
    • Lower rates of cesarean section, postpartum hemorrhage, neonatal asphyxia, and neonatal morbidity were observed in the study group (P < 0.01 and P < 0.05).

    Conclusions:

    • Implementing humanized intrapartum care models can significantly decrease cesarean section rates.
    • Continuous support during labor promotes vaginal delivery and enhances both maternal and neonatal health outcomes.
