Abstract
Bakground: At our institution, We have controlled pain during vaginal delivery with epidural block since 1986. We designed a questionaire for parturients to analyze the degree of satisfaction of epidural block. Method: The self-questionaire were sent to parturients(N=200), who had epidural block to control labor pain during vaginal delivery. The questionaire covered topics dealing with motivation, fear, satisfaction and complications, of epidural block. Results: Motivation by an experienced person was 72.5%(145 parturients), fear of epidural block was 66%(132 parturients), and satisfactory response was 84%(168 parturients). Parturients who knew the role of anesthesiologist numbered 105(52.5%). Scarcely, 46 parturients displayed confidence for safety of fetus; 111 parturients experienced more than one complications. But special therapy for complications were not necessary. Conclusions: Publicity through mass-media and direct contact will improve the recognition and merit of epidural block by parturients as well as the role of the department of anesthesiology.
