Résumé : |
It is estimated that 85% of women in the UK anticipating a vaginal delivery are likely to sustain perineal trauma, with 10% enduring long-term discomfort that will affect them physically, emotionally and psychologically (Williams et al 2005). Up to 70% of those women who sustain a tear will require perineal suturing (Frohlich & Kettle 2015).
Perineal trauma has proved to have cost implications for the National Health Service (NHS), with litigation claims identified at millions of pounds (NHS Resolution (NHSR) 2019). As part of improving childbirth experiences and outcomes, the NHS Long Term Plan (NHS 2019) focuses on improving access to postnatal physiotherapy - which would also mean providing alternative, non-pharmacological, preventative care approaches to reducing perineal trauma. Achieving these goals, and delivering quality care that is effective, appropriate and cost-efficient, reflects the agenda of the UK government's overarching policy publication Better births. |
