Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study aims to develop a device that quantitatively evaluates the technique of perineal protection during childbirth by measuring hand pressure. The device consists of two parts: 1) a delivery assistance device that automatically delivers the fetal model's head, and 2) a sensor glove that measures pressure at eight points on the hand. Experimental results using the device showed that the techniques for perineal protection by eight midwives fell into four patterns. The techniques of four midwifery students were characterized by high pressure from the right hand and low pressure from the left hand. The quantitatively measured pressures of the midwifery students aligned with the technical challenges identified in previous research. Therefore, it was suggested that this device allows for the quantitative evaluation of perineal protection techniques and is useful for the skill acquisition of midwifery students.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

研究成果の学術的意義は、会陰保護技術の複雑な手の動きの中でも助産学生が習得困難である手の圧を定量的に評価できる装置を開発したことである。これまで効果的な技術の伝承は難しく初学者の課題は圧力の感覚を習得することであった。しかし、本装置を使用した技術練習は、従来の主観的な技術評価から技術到達の目標を明確にした客観的評価に変えることで、助産学生が効果的に習練を積み更なる技術の向上に貢献できる。従って助産学生の会陰保護の技術向上は、分娩介助において母児に安全と安楽を提供し、母親にとって満足できる出産につながることから、本成果の社会的意義は大きいと考える。
