Sample Literature Review
Summers (1997) article on cervical ripening and labor induction concluded that breast stimulation is an effective means of enhancing a woman’s Bishop score and help with cervical ripening to induce labor. The author looked at 3 separate studies that were conducted in 1973, 1983, and 1986. All studies showed that nipple stimulation had a significant change in the Bishop score with a mean increase of 2.4 and that nipple stimulation helped to hasten the onset of labor. The weakness of this article is that the author did not conduct her own research of nipple stimulation and Bishop scores. The studies were conducted on small groups of less than 50 women. A larger randomized control study would better support the hypothesis that nipple stimulation has positive effects on cervical ripening and enhancement of Bishop scores.
Vrouenraets and colleagues (2006) likewise investigated whether induction of labor in nulliparous women predisposes them to a CS delivery and found a significant correlation between the Bishop score at the time of admission and CS delivery rate. A Bishop score of <5 at the time of admission is associated with CS. Kavanagh, Kelly, and Thomas (2005) evaluated six trials of women at term with premature rupture of membranes with no contractions. Findings indicated that nipple stimulation was as effective as Pitocin in commencing the onset of labor within 72 hours after initiation of nipple stimulation. However, the trials had small study populations and it offered limited maternal and fetal outcomes, suggesting that further research regarding safety and efficacy of nipple stimulation is warranted. Razgaitis and Lyers (2010) had similar findings as Kavanagh et al (2005) on the efficacy of nipple stimulation in augmentation of labor as an alternative/adjunct to oxytocin therapy. The authors recommend more research needs to be done to define a clear protocol for performing and evaluating the safety of nipple stimulation and its effects on the cervix. A systematic review of research studies regarding method of labor induction from 1980-2010 by Mozurkewich and colleagues (2011) summarized from Medline and Cochrane Library, compared the effectiveness of the method of breast stimulation by itself, and against other methods of induction (i.e. oxytocin). The authors found major gaps in the literature in regards to the use of nipple stimulation in increasing cervical favorability and as an adjunct to labor augmentation and a clear lack of reliable data and accurately controlled studies prevents the appropriate role of breast stimulation in labor induction to be defined. Therefore this research proposal aims to help clarify and specify the role of nipple stimulation in IOL for postdates by increasing cervical favorability (Bishop Score), which in hopes, would decrease the number of caesarean sections due to “failed induction.” Just a sample can add more references.
