“…Not infrequently their experience of happiness and joy due to having a newborn baby is connected with negative emotions due to their memories of labor pain [14]. It is worth underlining that relieving labor pain is a mandatory component of pregnancy management [15]. Scientific studies underline the key importance played by the entire medical team and the childbearing women in alleviating intrapartum pain.…”

The aim: Women of reproductive age often think of motherhood and labor with fear of intense labor pain. The anxiety they experience can lead to their postponing pregnancy. There are not many studies in the literature that research the knowledge young women have about the analgesia of labor. The aim of the present work was to evaluate the state of awareness about the possible methods of labor analgesia among women of childbearing age. Material and methods: An Internet survey was conducted among 160 women. It consisted of questions on the pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods of labor analgesia. Most of the respondents were not medical university students (96.2%). Correct answers ranged between 11.3% and 97.5% of the total responses. Results: The greatest number of incorrect answers were given to the question regarding contraindications to labor anesthesia (only 11.3% of answers were correct). There was also a low percentage of correct answers to questions about the risk of spinal cord injury during the procedure of inducing anesthesia (18.8% of correct answers), the motor activity of a woman after analgesia (22.5%) and the reimbursement of anesthesia (29.4%). Nearly 40% of the respondents did not know the correct answer to the question about the possibility of breastfeeding after anesthesia. The problem of aalgesia during twin delivery also posed a challenge. Over half of the respondents (54.1%) incorrectly answered the question about the occurrence of complications among women who want to become pregnant again after the procedure of labor anesthesia. Moreover, 70.6% of the women surveyed considered non-pharmacological methods of labor anesthesia to be safer compared to pharmacological analgesia. The most commonly mentioned methods of non-pharmacological labor pain relief included breathing techniques and water birth. Conclusions: The study shows that women

“…Labor pain is characterized in a slightly different way by multiparas: 17% describe the pain as ‘unbearable’, 46% as ‘very strong or strong’, and 25% as ‘bearable’ [ 14 , 15 ]. It needs to be emphasized that labor pain relief is a standard component of perinatal care [ 16 ]. Studies have shown that knowledge about the methods of labor pain relief and their effectiveness resulted in higher satisfaction with childbirth [ 2 , 17 , 18 ].…”

This study aimed to assess knowledge about non-pharmacological pain-relief methods in labor among women who have given birth at least once. This cross-sectional study was conducted using an online survey among 466 adult women. The minimum sample size was estimated based on the number of labor admissions in the year before the study in Poland. The survey included questions about respondents’ sociodemographics and knowledge of pain-relief methods. The knowledge score was calculated using the sum of correct answers. Non-parametric Spearman’s correlation, Kruskal–Wallis and Wilcoxon variance tests were used. Antenatal classes (313/68.9%) and the Internet (248/54.6%) were the most common sources of knowledge. The most popular pharmacological pain-relief methods included epidural anesthesia (386/85.0%) and nitrous oxide (301/66.3%). Massage and breathing techniques were the most commonly known non-pharmacological methods (405/89.2% and 400/88.1%, respectively). The knowledge score about non-pharmacological methods was significantly higher as compared to the pharmacological methods score (rc = 0.85; p < 0.001). Respondents’ age correlated with knowledge about non-pharmacological methods (rs = −0.10,p = 0.026) but did not correlate with knowledge about pharmacological methods. Educational level correlated with knowledge about pharmacological (rs = −0.13,p = 0.007) and non-pharmacological (rs = 0.14, p = 0.003) methods concerning pain relief in labor. No correlation was found between respondents’ knowledge and gravidity, number of vaginal or cesarean deliveries, and hospital referral levels for previous deliveries. Our findings support the need to implement educational programs to increase evidence-based knowledge about pain-relief methods during labor in women.
