    Author: Adams ED, Bianchi AL.
    Journal: J Obstet Gynecol Neonatal Nurs; 2008; 37(1):106-15. PubMed ID: 18226164.
    Abstract:
    In the United States, intrapartum nurses are present at 99% of births. These nurses have a unique opportunity to positively affect a laboring woman's comfort and labor progress through the use of labor support behaviors. These nonpharmacologic nursing strategies fall into four categories: physical, emotional, instructional/informational, and advocacy. Implementation of these strategies requires special knowledge and a commitment to the enhanced physical and emotional comfort of laboring women.
