prolonged second stage of laborAbstract
Background: The second stage of labor is often the most stressful part of the childbearing process for the woman and fetus, and consequently for the provider. Duration of second stage of labor is influenced by many factors. This stage may become prolonged often resulting to maternal and neonatal complications.
Objective: To determine duration of second stage of labor and associated factors among mothers who give birth in selected health facilities of Dire Dawa administrative city, East, Ethiopia, 2018.
Methods: prospective cohort study was conducted among mothers who gave birth in selected health facilities of Dire Dawa administrative city from April to July 2018. A total of 283 mothers who came for delivery care services in a randomly selected health facilities were included in the study. Data were collected using face to face interview, document review, and anthropometric measurement techniques. The data were entered into EPIDATA version 3.1 and exported to STATA version 12 for analysis.
Result: The overall proportion of mothers with prolonged second stage of labor was 21.2 %. The proportion of prolonged second stage of labor was 28.83 % in nulliparous mothers and 15.5 % in multiparous mothers. Physical activity (AHR; 0.4 95%CI: 0.2-0.7), Adequacy of uterine contraction (AHR 2.9, 95%CI: 1.4-6.1), fetal position. (AHR, 0.2, 95%CI: 0.07-0.5), birth weight (AHR: 0.07 95% CI; 0.07-0.6), and adequacy of maternal pelvic (AHR: 0.3, 95%CI: 0.1-0.7) has statistically significant associations with duration of second stage of labor.
Conclusion: The proportion of prolonged second stage of labor was higher in nulli parious mothers than multi parious mothers. Lack of Physical activity during pregnancy, inadequacy of uterine contraction, occipital posterior fetal position, birth weight of >4kg, and inadequate maternal pelvic were predictors of longer duration of second stage of labor.
