Abstract

Objective: To investigate the effect of free position nursing intervention on improving pain levels in primiparas during natural childbirth. Methods: 86 primiparas who underwent natural childbirth in the obstetrics department of our hospital from January 2022 to June 2024 were selected and divided into an observation group (n = 43) and a control group (n = 43) using the random number table method. The control group received the routine delivery nursing model, while the observation group implemented free position nursing intervention on the basis of routine care. The pain degree, delivery time, and neonatal Apgar scores were compared between the two groups. Results: The pain level in the observation group was significantly reduced, the duration of the first stage of labor was significantly shortened, and the 1-minute Apgar score of the neonates was higher (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Free position nursing intervention can effectively alleviate the pain experience of primiparas during natural childbirth, shorten the duration of labor, and benefit maternal and infant health. It is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
