Summary

This study looked at whether having a student midwife stay with a woman throughout labor helps reduce pain and improve her birth experience. 90 low-risk pregnant women were randomly assigned to receive either continuous support from trained student midwives or usual care. The researchers measured pain levels, birth satisfaction, and how often medical interventions like episiotomy were needed.
