Relief factors related to preterm labor are important in prevention of premature contraction. The purpose of this research was to examine the relationships between lifestyle factors and premature labor in pregnant women. The subjects were 160 pregnant women who were admitted to the labor rooms of tertiary hospitals in Bangkok and Chonburi province. They were equally divided into two groups. The first consisted of 80 pregnant women with premature labor pains, and the other group comprised 80 pregnant women with full term labor pain who were selected by a simple random sampling method. Data were collected by 1) demographic questionnaire, including data related to working hours/week, longstanding, and secondhand smoke 2) the Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI), and 3) prevention of UTI during pregnancy questionnaire. Data were analyzed by frequency, percent, mean, standard deviation, chi-square test and point biserial correlation coefficient statistics.
Result show sleep quality and daytime dysfunction to be significantly related to premature labor pain at alpha level .05 (X2 =9.014, df =1, p=.001, X2 =7.241, df =1, p=.006 These findings suggest that nurses and midwives should provide nursing intervention to promote sleep quality during pregnancy for the purpose of decreasing premature labor pain.
