1. Which choices below best reflect the problem statement for the instructor-assigned article? Not only does labor pain have negative effects on pregnant women and fetuses, women’s psychological and emotional states have a great effect on levels of perceived pain. There is a limited number of studies regarding labor dance. This study was conducted to determine the effects of labor dance on perceived labor pain, birth satisfaction, and neonatal outcomes. A labor dance that a pregnant woman performs with her partner reduces perceived pain and increases the woman’s satisfaction with birth. 2.

Subjects were eligible to be included if they had no pre-eclampsia. This experimental and prospective study aims to evaluate the effects of labor dance. The support provided by people whose company is desired by pregnant women during the labor process is the main factor that improves the effective use of non-pharmacological methods. The labor dance starts in the active labor phase of the first labor stage and continues until the end of the first stage. 11. On page 311, the authors state that the first research objective, question, or hypothesis was: “This experimental and prospective study aims to evaluate the effects of labor dance, which is applied during the active phase of labor, on perceived labor pain, birth satisfaction, and neonatal outcomes.” This is best described as a Research objective Research question Research hypothesis None of the above 12.

Labor dance is a method of body movement with a partner combined with massage from the partner intended to mobilize emotional support. Participants who met the inclusion criteria and received training with a spouse or partner were assigned to the DPSG group. Labor dance that a pregnant woman performs with her partner reduces perceived pain and increases the woman’s satisfaction with birth. Labor dance is measured by assignment to one of the labor dance groups. 14. What is the operational definition (as defined in the methods section) of the following study variable: perceived pain? Women’s psychological and emotional states have a great effect on perceived pain. Pain was measured by visual analogue scale when cervical dilation was 4 cm. and 9 cm.

1. What sampling method or plan was used by the authors in this study? Simple random sampling Convenience sampling Cluster sampling Network sampling 2. According to Grove & Gray (2019), what are the potential biases of convenience sampling? This is a strong probability sampling method with very little potential for bias. This method is used when an ordered list of all members of the population are available, and provides a random but not equal chance for inclusion in the study. This method provides little opportunity to control for bias because subjects are included in the study merely because they happen to be in the right place at the right time. This method is specific to the individuals who were recruited and the information gained cannot be generalized to others who don’t share these types of experiences. 3. What was the final sample size reported by the authors for this study? 187 160 87 57 44 4. Was a power analysis conducted? If so, which statement best describes the results of the power analysis?

Data was collected by the researcher during labor Participants were recruited from the pool of pregnant patients admitted to the hospital during a specific period 16. Based on the study’s data collection methods, If there were more than one data collector, would an estimation of inter-rater reliability be an important concept for the authors to report on for this study? yes, and the authors reported their efforts to achieve inter-rater reliability. yes, but the authors do not discuss any efforts to achieve inter-rater reliability. no, the issue of inter-rater reliability does not apply here. 17.

There are several statistically significant findings in this study. Which of these statements from the article would be considered a significant and predicted results? (Select all that apply.) Newborns’ first minute oxygen saturation levels were 89 in the experimental groups and 88 in the control group The median first minute Apgar score was found to be 9 in DPSG, DPMG, and CG. The median fifth minute Apgar score was found to be 10 in DPSG, 9 in DPMG, and 8 in CG. All groups were found to be similar in number of pregnancies, week of pregnancy, cervical dilatation at the time of hospitalization, and the duration of the active phase 21. Which of these statements from the article would be considered a non-significant result? The median total labor dance durations were 48 and 56 minutes in DPSG and DPMG, respectively. Newborns’ first minute oxygen saturation levels were 89 in the experimental groups (DPSG, DPMG) and 88 in the control group. The median fifth minute Apgar score was found to be 10 in DPSG, 9 in DPMG, and 8 in CG. The fifth minute oxygen saturation levels were 99 in the experimental groups and 94 in the control group. 22. Which one of these statements from the article would be considered clinically important? The fifth minute oxygen saturation levels were 99 in the experimental groups and 94 in the control group. The median total labor dance durations were 48 and 56 minutes in DPSG and DPMG, respectively. All groups were found to be similar in number of pregnancies, week of pregnancy, and cervical dilatation at the time of hospitalization. Abdolahian et al. (2014) reported a VAS score of 6.89 in the experimental groups and 8.29 in the control group. 23. Which of the following statements are strengths of the study? (Select all that apply.)

Which one of these statements would be considered a statement regarding generalization of these results? This study was conducted in a mother-friendly hospital that allows spouses to be in the delivery room. The satisfaction status of women who received care under the leadership of midwives was found to be high compared to the women in other groups. Findings obtained in this study also reveal that labor dance renders positive effects not only on newborn babies but also on women giving birth. These study results are compatible with the literature. 25. Which one of these statements from the article would be considered a recommendation for future studies? These study results are compatible with the literature. It is suggested to conduct dance practices in a wider sampling with other attendants a pregnant women would ask for. This study was conducted in a mother-friendly hospital that allows spouses to be in the delivery room. The results of this study demonstrated that labor dance positively affected labor pain, birth satisfaction, and neonatal results.
