Women's experience with early labour management at home vs. in hospital: a randomised controlled trial

摘要

Findings; women who received home visits rated their early labour experience more positively overall compared to women who received telephone support (103.14 ± 12.45 vs. 99.67 ± 13.11, p < .01) including perceptions of nursing care that they received (38.64 ± 2.90 vs. 36.82 ± 4.09, p < .001). However, women's affective experiences did not differ.Key conclusions; early labour nursing care provided at home is associated with a more positive experience of early labour compared to telephone support.
