Warm showers were the therapeutic intervention. We gave all potential participants an educational flier that explained the intervention and listed its requirements, including (a) participant allows preshower session checks of fetal heartbeat and cervix dilation, (b) all participants accompanied by spouse, family member, etc., (c) water tem- perature maintained at 37 degrees Celsius (C), and (d) sessions last 20 minutes. Prior to enroll- ment, we monitored the fetal heartbeat and cervi- cal dilations of experimental group candidates for 30 minutes to confirm normal labor progression. We also helped administer the first 20-minute in- tervention session. After a 5-minute full-body or lower-back shower, participants were permitted to direct shower water anywhere that felt most com- fortable. Nurses allowed participants to stand and sit as desired. After the first session, nurses mon- itored the fetal heartbeat and dilation status for at least 20 minutes every hour. Given continued nor- mal labor progression, we allowed participants to take 20-minute accompanied warm showers as desired.
