We will include any psychosocial and educational interventions
that aim to help women during the latent phase of labour. The
timing of the interventions is not only in early labour (the latent
phase), but also in the antepartum period. Antepartum interventions
that aim to support women to cope with their early
labour will be included (e.g., providing information and strategies
for the latent phase of labour). We will include interventions that
are provided either by healthcare professionals caring for labouring
women (e.g., physicians, nurses, or midwives), or by a trained
female companion (e.g., doula). Both individual or group interventions
will be included. Interventions that are administered at
the maternity unit, the woman’s home, over the telephone, online
(e.g., websites or social media), or via electronic devices will be
included.
