Abstract

Background: The purposes of this research were to compare 1) the maternity duration of the women used for natural method and the spontaneous pushing method together with massage perineum as the experiment group to the women with directed pushing as the control group, 2) postpartum fatigue between the groups, and 3) postpartum satisfaction of the two group. Methods: 60 childbearing women were recruited in the study. Mixed methods Quasi-experimental and the quantitative research were used. The samples were divided into 2 groups, namely the control group and the experiment groups. 30 women were assigned into each group. The data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and t-test.) Results: The results showed that the duration of spontaneous pushing together with perineum massage and that directed pushing was not differ significantly level .05 (t-test =.49, p >.05). The experiment group was significantly less postpartum fatigue than the controlled group (t-test =.008, p<.05). However, the experiment group had significant higher satisfaction level than that of the controlled group (t-test = .005,p < .05). Conclusion: The maternity duration in the trial group was less than that of the control group. When having the trial group with natural method conjunction with the spontaneous pushing massage perineum, it was found that the maternity duration was shorter than that of the control group. Comparing the postpartum fatigue of 2 hours between the two groups, it was found that the trial group was significantly less fatigue than the control group.
