Abstract
Objective
To investigate mode of birth in relation to onset of labor and Bishop score.
Design
Retrospective observational cohort design.
Setting
A 434-bed Magnet redesignated community hospital.
Participants
Nulliparous women, 18 years of age or older, who gave birth at 37 to 41 weeks gestation to live, singleton fetuses in the vertex presentation (N = 701).
Methods
We conducted a retrospective chart review and used chi-square analysis to measure the associations among mode of birth, onset of labor, and Bishop score. We used logistic regression to test the probability of cesarean birth for women undergoing elective induction of labor.
Results
Most participants (n = 531, 75.7%) gave birth vaginally. Significant findings included the following relationships: spontaneous onset of labor and vaginal birth (χ2 = 22.2, Ø = 0.18, p < .001) and Bishop score of greater than or equal to 8 and vaginal birth (χ2 = 4.9, Ø = .14, p = .028). Induction of labor was a significant predictor in cesarean birth when controlling for age and body mass index (OR = 2.1, 95% confidence interval [1.5, 3.1], p < .001).
Conclusion
Reducing elective induction of labor in women with low-risk pregnancies may help lower the risk of cesarean birth. Clinically, Bishop score and mode of birth have a weak association, particularly when induction includes cervical ripening.
期刊介绍:
JOGNN is a premier resource for health care professionals committed to clinical scholarship that advances the health care of women and newborns. With a focus on nursing practice, JOGNN addresses the latest research, practice issues, policies, opinions, and trends in the care of women, childbearing families, and newborns.
This peer-reviewed scientific and technical journal is highly respected for groundbreaking articles on important - and sometimes controversial - issues. Articles published in JOGNN emphasize research evidence and clinical practice, building both science and clinical applications. JOGNN seeks clinical, policy and research manuscripts on the evidence supporting current best practice as well as developing or emerging practice trends. A balance of quantitative and qualitative research with an emphasis on biobehavioral outcome studies and intervention trials is desired. Manuscripts are welcomed on all subjects focused on the care of women, childbearing families, and newborns.
