Perinatal Nurses Respond to Shared Decision-Making Education: A Quasi-Experimental Study
The Journal of Perinatal Education
|March 21, 2022
Summary
Supporting women's autonomy in childbirth through shared decision-making and communication tools can improve labor satisfaction. Nurses showed increased advocacy for patient autonomy after training on the SUPPORT tool, enhancing perinatal care.
Area of Science:
- Obstetrics and Gynecology
- Nursing Research
- Patient Advocacy
Background:
- Loss of autonomy during childbirth is a significant factor in labor dissatisfaction.
- Shared decision-making, incorporating choice, option, and decision talk, shows potential to improve patient satisfaction.
- Standardized communication tools may facilitate shared decision-making in perinatal care.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the impact of education on nurses' support for women's autonomy during childbirth.
- To assess the utility of a standardized communication tool (SUPPORT) in facilitating shared decision-making and evolving birth plans.
- To determine if enhanced nurse advocacy improves patient satisfaction with labor.
Main Methods:
- Quasi-experimental pre-/post-test design involving 29 nurses.
- Education module focused on supporting women's autonomy using the SUPPORT tool.
- Evaluation of nurses' responses and willingness to advocate for autonomy post-intervention.
Main Results:
- Nurses found the SUPPORT tool effective for shared decision-making and creating evolving birth plans.
- Most nurses recommended initiating the SUPPORT tool between 13- and 26-weeks' gestation.
- Significant increase in nurses' willingness to advocate for women's autonomy (p = .022) after education.
Conclusions:
- Standardized perinatal communication, like the SUPPORT tool, can enhance shared decision-making.
- Supporting women's autonomy through improved communication may positively impact perinatal education and labor satisfaction.
- Nurse education on patient autonomy is crucial for improving the childbirth experience.

Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.

01:24Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation
1.4K
Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about...

The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.

The process of hypothesis testing based on the P-value method includes calculating the P- value using the sample data and interpreting it.
First, a specific claim about the population parameter is proposed. The claim is based on the research question and is stated in a simple form. Further, an opposing statement to the claim is also stated. These statements can act as null and alternative hypotheses: a null hypothesis would be a neutral statement while the alternative hypothesis can...

01:15Nursing Evaluation
3.7K
The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.
