Summary

Patient satisfaction is an important outcome in the evaluation and development of healthcare services. Studies have identified tools that successfully measure women's childbirth experiences, and have shown that multidimensional measures of women's satisfaction in labor and delivery provides a richer and diverse perspective on women's experiences of intrapartum care. Childbirth experience can have significant effects, both positive and negative, on women's immediate and long term health outcomes. Patients with negative experiences surrounding childbirth have been shown to have significant fear surrounding the labor and delivery experience that negatively impact subsequent deliveries. Often fear is worsened by a lack of knowledge of what to expect during labor. Women enrolled in this study will simulate some of the potentially stressful experiences that commonly occur during labor to determine if doing so decreases a woman's fear and anxiety about labor and delivery.

Simulation

Participants assigned to the intervention group will participate in the following simulations: 1) the process that may occur if a baby has a significant drop in heart rate during labor, 2) the process of moving from the labor bed to the transport stretcher and on to the operating room in the event that a woman needs a cesarean delivery, 3) the pushing process after a woman becomes completely dilated
