Abstract
In order to support labor and delivery nurses' desire for education regarding labor positioning, we hosted an 8-hour class presenting the Spinning Babies® class for birth professionals. Labor and delivery nurses and certified nurse midwives (CNMs; N = 109) from three hospitals participated in a study evaluating the effect of the Spinning Babies® class on their confidence in implementing techniques and knowledge regarding safety related to labor positioning. After the class, participants demonstrated significant improvement in scores related to the variables of interest. This study supports educating labor and delivery nurses and CNMs on how to support laboring women using positioning techniques to promote physiologic (vaginal) birth.
