Mothers desired more teaching during labor, but inconsistencies in nursing care and differing expectations caused distress. Improving nurse communication and assessing learning needs are crucial for better maternal support.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing research
  • Maternal health education
  • Labor and delivery care

Background:

  • Maternal learning needs during labor are critical for informed decision-making and positive birth experiences.
  • Effective communication and consistent information from healthcare providers are essential for meeting these needs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate whether nurses adequately address the learning requirements of mothers during the labor process.
  • To identify discrepancies between mothers' expected learning needs and the actual teaching provided by nurses.

Main Methods:

  • A descriptive survey design was employed with a longitudinal approach.
  • Data were collected from 40 mothers across two hospitals in a Canadian city.
  • Information gathered included patient demographics, expected learning needs, received teaching, and related experiences.

Main Results:

  • Most mothers desired and found teaching during labor helpful, yet experienced distress due to conflicting information and varied staff expectations.
  • Congruence between mothers' expectations and provided teaching varied across different topics.

Conclusions:

  • There is a clear need to systematically assess maternal learning needs during labor.
  • Ensuring consistency in care and communication among healthcare providers is vital.
  • Further research with larger sample sizes is recommended to validate these findings.
