Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1) Characteristics of the sample; The sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of the participants were collected, as well as cervical dilatation; the time of onset of physiotherapy in labor and the final time (after delivery) for the verification of labor time and comparison with the control group; the presence of intercurrences and the type of presentation of the fetus (pelvic and / or cephalic) were also observed. All these items were noted and filed in a data collection form produced especially for the study.;1) The mean initial dilation in the study group was 6.1 (± 1.4); five (83.3%) parturients in the active phase and one (16.7%) in the latent phase; and in the control group it was 6.8 (± 1.4), six (85.7%) in the active phase and one (14.2%) in the latent phase. On average, the duration of labor in minutes in the study group was 518.5 (± 230.2) and in the control it was 445.7 (± 281.3). The mean duration of physiotherapeutic care for the study group was 181.8 (± 55.4) minutes. In the control group, it was 151.7 hours (± 98.5) minutes. All fetuses in cephalic presentation.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
2) Assessment of pain; assessed according to the Visual Analogue Scale (EVA), which measures pain intensity on a scale of 0-10. This evaluation was performed at the moment of parturient admission in the delivery room, during the latent phase (up to 5 cm of dilatation) and active (between 5 and 6 cm and between 7 and 10 cm of dilatation) of labor.;2) The intervention group / study gave a mean score of 9.3 (± 1.2) and in the control group 8.8 (± 1.8).;3) Satisfaction with the intervention and / or orientation performed and provided by physiotherapy; after parturients were questioned in relation to the intervention and / or orientation performed. The parturient was questioned whether she was satisfied, dissatisfied or declared indifferent to the care and / or intervention received.;3) All sessions attended with physical therapy patient care;4) Evaluation of the presence of episiotomy and/or perineal laceration; the evaluation of the presence of episiotomy and / or laceration was made by questioning the medical professional who accompanied the woman at the end of delivery. It was evaluated as presence and / or absence of episiotomy and / or perineal laceration. This evaluation will be presented in percentage (%) and degree of impairment.;4) Only two (33.3%) of the six parturients included in the study group performed episiotomy; and two (28.5%) of seven parturients in the control group underwent episiotomy. All performed in the right mid-lateral direction, with an average of 1.5 cm. Regarding perineal laceration, three (42.8%) of the control group presented laceration grade 1 and two (28.5%) grade 2. In the intervention group none of the participants presented laceration.
