Nursing support of the laboring woman
Abstract
Labor support is one of the most important intrapartum nursing functions, with measurable effects on the outcomes of labor and birth. Supportive activities fall within five categories: emotional support, comfort measures, advocacy, supporting the husband/partner, and information/advice. Labor support is a repertoire of techniques the nurse can use to help women during one of the most memorable and personally challenging experiences of their lives.
