Abstract
Background: Labor pain during childbirth can have devastating effects on the progress of labor, mother, and fetus. Consequently, the management of labor pain is crucial for the well-being of the mother and fetus. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is a non -pharmacological analgesic technique. (Anne,2021)
Purpose: To reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the Hospital as much as possible & achieving zero neutrality in line with the priorities of the environment and natural resources.
Method: Pilot study was conducted at the largest tertiary hospital in Oman. Purposive sampling was applied for participant recruitment. Questionnaire was used as data collection methods. The study included all mothers came in labour suite complaining of labour pain. However, high risk mothers were excluded. The data collection process yielded 100 mothers. The interview protocol highlighted the effectiveness on TENS machine in reducing labour pain.
Results: Total of 100 mothers were involved in this pilot study and showed that they have knowledge about TENS machine and the staff were explained well regarding the use of TENS machine (graph 1). However, the mothers reported that they are satisfied with it in regards to the pain relief in terms of frequency and location of the TENS. Moreover, all the mothers were happy and satisfy with this TENS after used for labour pain therefore they are highly recommended to be used for relieving labour pain.
