    Author: Santhi, Anuratha, Kokilavani.
    Journal: Nurs J India; 2012; 103(6):272-5. PubMed ID: 23923599.
    Abstract:
    This post-test experimental study was conducted among 50 primigravida mothers - 25 each in experimental and control groups in a maternity centre of Coimbatore (TN) with a view to assess the effect of semi-sitting position during second stage of labour on maternal and neonatal outcomes. It was found that semi sitting position is beneficial in enhancing thrust and directing the uterine contraction force on foetus that lead to fewer late decelerations and increased APGAR score.
