“…Those in the control arm did not receive similar interactions. Upright positions during labor have been associated with both shorter labors and also with increased capacity to cope with labor pain (Adachi, Shimada, & Usui, 2003; Lawrence, Lewis, Hofmeyr, Dowswell, & Styles, 2009). The higher average quantity of time upright during labor (181.3 minutes vs. 115.8 minutes, p =0.001) noted in those randomized to the experimental arm confounds interpretation of the birth ball exercise program on childbirth self-efficacy and outcomes.…”

Objective To synthesize and critique the quantitative literature on measuring childbirth self-efficacy and the effect of childbirth self-efficacy on perinatal outcomes. Data Sources Eligible studies were identified through searching MEDLINE, CINAHL, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases. Study Selection Published research using a tool explicitly intended to measure childbirth self-efficacy and also examining outcomes within the perinatal period were included. All manuscripts were in English and published in peer-reviewed journals. Data Extraction First author, country, year of publication, reference and definition of childbirth self-efficacy, measurement of childbirth self-efficacy, sample recruitment and retention, sample characteristics, study design, interventions (with experimental and quasi-experimental studies), and perinatal outcomes were extracted and summarized. Data Synthesis Of 619 publications, 23 studies published between 1983 and 2015 met inclusion criteria and were critiqued and synthesized in this review. Conclusions There is overall consistency in how childbirth self-efficacy is defined and measured among studies, facilitating comparison and synthesis. Our findings suggest that increased childbirth self-efficacy is associated with a wide variety of improved perinatal outcomes. Moreover, there is evidence that childbirth self-efficacy is a psychosocial factor that can be modified through various efficacy-enhancing interventions. Future researchers will be able to build knowledge in this area through: (a) utilization of experimental and quasi-experimental design; (b) recruitment and retention of more diverse samples; (c) explicit reporting of definitions of terms (e.g. ‘high risk’); (d) investigation of interventions that increase childbirth self-efficacy during pregnancy; and, (e) investigation regarding how childbirth self-efficacy enhancing interventions might lead to decreased active labor pain and suffering. Exploratory research should continue to examine the potential association between higher prenatal childbirth self-efficacy and improved early parenting outcomes.

“…Randomized studies that evaluated the change in position reported a reduction in pain scores and an increase in comfort and satisfaction of mothers who have adopted the upright position (Adachi, Shimada, & Usui, 2003;Miquelutti, Cecatti, Morais, & Makuch, 2009).…”

“…Of these, 9 randomized controlled trials were included in the systematic review, with a total of 2,220 women [2,8-15] (Figure 1). None of the studies excluded from the review were randomized controlled trials [1,16-22] and one referred only to the second stage of labor [23]. Main characteristics of studies included in the review are presented in Table 1.…”
