Getting-out-of-bed activity may promote expectant mothers' laboring progress and lower complications. This project aims at promoting getting-out-of-bed activity for expectant mothers with epidural birth. An analysis indicated that only 52.7% of expectant mothers with epidural birth responded correctly to survey questions regarding getting-out-of-bed activity, and only 5.4% got out of bed during labor. The affecting factors included lack of a caring protocol pertaining to epidural birth and patient educational tools, nurses' insufficient knowledge about epidural birth, and anesthesiologists' preference to keep expectant mothers with epidural birth in a supine position. After implementation of improvement measures, such as reaching a consensus with anesthesiologists, developing a standard procedure of epidural birth, designing educational leaflets of epidural birth and a checklist for epidural birth, and scheduling on-job in-service courses for epidural birth and courses for expectant mothers, the correct response rate on knowledge raised to 85.4% and the getting-out-of-bed activity rate raised to 66.7%. This project actually promoted getting-out-of-bed activity of expectant mothers and enhanced healthcare quality during their laboring period. |
