The findings also highlight the need for careful
review of the existing labour and delivery units and
procedures. More privacy during labour might
reduce fear and improve education about the
procedures and process of labour and childbirth
should prove useful. Midwives and nurses who work
in labour and delivery should be encouraged to
assess and respond to their patient’s feelings and
concerns about childbirth. Perhaps increasing the
role of husbands in the childbirth experience is
warranted.
