Learning Objective #1: The learner will be able to know the nursing practice of video-based Lamaze method.
Learning Objective #2: The learner will be able to know the effectiveness of video-based Lamaze method on maternal labor knowledge, attitudes, and practice compared to traditional nursing guideline.

This study was conducted to explore the effectiveness of video-based Lamaze method on maternal labor knowledge, attitudes, and practice compared to traditional nursing guideline. Based on the quasi-experimental design, women in labor with 32 weeks or more gestations were divided into four study groups, including two experimental groups (E1: traditional nursing guideline plus video-based Lamaze method and E2: video-based Lamaze method) and two control groups (C1: traditional nursing guideline and C2: none of any nursing guideline received). Before the intervention, E1 group had the highest knowledge score than other groups. The attitude score was no significant difference among four groups. The experimental groups had higher scores than control groups in the posttest. Except the attitude (E1>E2), knowledge score (E1: 13.09±1.40, E2: 12.40±1.17) and managements of labor process (E1: 119.00±10.91, E2: 112.97±14.33) were no significant difference between E1 and E2 group in the posttest. From correlation analysis, the higher scores of prenatal knowledge, the better performance of prenatal practice, postnatal knowledge, attitude, and managements of labor process. The more positive prenatal attitude, the better performances of postnatal knowledge, attitude, and managements of labor process. The higher scores of prenatal practice, the better performances of postnatal knowledge, attitude, and managements of labor process. The positive associations were also found among postnatal knowledge, attitude, and managements of labor process. The present study revealed that video-based Lamaze method might promote maternal labor knowledge, attitudes, and practice more efficiently. Traditional nursing guideline could have intensive effectiveness on maternal attitude.
