| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to identify present situation of the hospitals which practice vulva cleaning during labor with tap water, and to consider the ideal way of vulva cleaning. Investigations were conducted in five facilities (three in Japan and two in UK) with their consent. As a result, they suggest that vulva cleaning using tap water is safe for both mother and child and is a desirable method based on evidence. By connecting these results and my previous studies, a pamphlet was published and sent to about 900 maternity hospitals in Japan. This study has been introduced on the Internet to recommend adopting vulva cleaning with tap water.
