During labor, restricting women movement can result in poorer birth outcomes and may decrease women’s satisfaction with their birth experience walking or freedom of movement is important during childbirth. The fact indicates that walking makes it impossible to respond to pain in an active way and it can speed up the labor process. OBJECTIVES 1. To assess the rate of cervical dilatation during active phase of first stage of labor among primigravida women (control group) 2. To implement ambulation protocol during active phase of first stage of labor among primigravida women (experimental group) 3.To assess the rate of cervical dilatation during active phase of first stage of labor among primigravida women (experimental group) 4. To compare the rate of cervical dilatation during active phase of first stage of labor among the experimental and control group. METHODOLOGY The research design adopted for this study was a Quasi- experimental one group control and one group experimental group and the research approach was an quantitative approach. This study was conducted in labor ward at selected hospitals, Patiala, Punjab. The sample size was 60 women, 30 women of experimental group admitted in labor ward of Mata Kaushalya Hospital, Patiala, Punjab and 30 women of control group admitted in Rajindra Hospital, Patiala, Punjab. Data was collected using WHO modified partograph. RESULT The findings showed that ambulation was effective for enhancing rate of cervical dilatation during active phase of first stage of labor among Primigravida women in experimental group as compared to control group.
