Abstract

Women who delivered vaginally suffer from some kind of perineal trauma, spontaneous perineal lacerations or episiotomies. Perineal trauma during childbirth may result in multiple long-term urinary and gynecologic problems. The aims of the present study were to determine the rate of episiotomies and tears among parturient women, to determine the risk factors for episiotomy and perineal tears and to assess the perineal care measures that are used during labor to reduce perineal tear and episiotomy at childbirth. A descriptive design was used for the conduction of the study. The sample consisted of 150 parturient women in labor, selected purposively from Labor Unit at Zagazig University Hospital. Tools used in the study included a questionnaire and assessment sheets(mother and neonatal).
