| description | Epidural analgesia is one of the most common methods of relieving labor pain.
The objective of this study was to examine the effectiveness of epidural analgesia, maternal satisfaction
and relationship between the effectiveness of epidural analgesia and various factors. Data were
analyzed retrospectively and collected during 2022. A total of 60 parturients participated in the study.
Data were collected through a questionnaire before the parturient was discharged from the hospital.
The mean assessment of pain on a 1–10 numeric rating scale before epidural analgesia was 7.7 and 3.4
after administration of epidural analgesia. The median assessment of pain before epidural analgesia
was 8 (7¬¬–8), and the median assessment of pain after epidural analgesia was 3 (2–5). The average
satisfaction with epidural analgesia on a 1–10 scale was 8.11, and the median satisfaction was 10
(7–10). Total of 35 (58.3%) parturients rated satisfaction with 10. Statistically significant association
between the effectiveness of epidural analgesia and parity, dilution of administered levobupivacaine,
fentanyl administration, and level of education was not found. Childbirth pain is significantly alleviated
by the application of epidural analgesia and the satisfaction of parturients is very high. |
