Abstract
The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of early maternal-newborn skin contact during third stage of labor on childbirth outcomes. Design: A quasi experimental research design was used. Setting: This study was conducted at Labor and Delivery Unit at Obstetrics and Gynecology Department in Mansoura University Hospitals, Egypt. Subjects: This study included 180 parturient women who were selected by purposive sampling technique and were divided into 90 parturient women who received skin to skin contact (SSC) during third stage of labor and 90 parturient women who received routine hospital care according to the inclusion criteria. Tools: Five tools were used for data collection; namely (structured interviewing schedule, APGAR Newborn Scoring Chart, The newborn body temperature chart, Observational checklist for assessment of first breastfeeding and Lickert Scale for assessment of maternal satisfaction). Results: The duration of third stage of labor was shorter, the amount of blood loss was lower and maternal satisfaction and preference were higher in the study than control group (p<0.05). Newborns in the study group initiated their first breastfeeding earlier and have slightly higher temperature but within normal than control group (p<0.05). Conclusion: Maternal-newborn skin contact had positive effect on shortening duration of third stage of labor, less blood loss, early initiation of breast feeding, better newborn body temperature and more satisfaction. The study recommended that the maternity hospitals should encourage obstetricians and maternity nurses to increase awareness of women about the benefits of practicing early maternal-newborn skin contact during third stage of labor on childbirth outcomes.
