3. A bodily wound or damage is referred to as trauma. One of the
injuries that may occur during vaginal delivery is genital
trauma. It includes vulva, vagina, perineum, cervix, and uterine
trauma or injury. During delivery, the perineum, vagina, uterus,
and their supporting tissues sustain the majority of acute
injuries and lacerations.
Nature has the best owed women with the capacity of producing
children the process that makes her mother. For this she has to
undergo a very painful process of labour
Introduction

4. Laceration of the perineum and vagina may occur during
normal delivery due to the head's fast and abrupt
ejection, the newborn's enormous size, and the fragile
maternal tissues. Difficult forceps births, breech
extractions, or a constriction of the pelvic exit as the
head is pulled back may all cause them. Some tears are
inevitable even in the most competent hands, but how
they are handled is crucial.

5. Severe tearing is uncommon when delivery happens properly and
spontaneously, with the woman staying upright and active and
not hurrying the process. The most common obstetric legacy is
perineal injury. Many women discover that laying in bed with
their legs together for a few weeks repairs the tear on its own,
without the need for medical intervention, since the edges
naturally come together where they should be anyhow.

6. There are five different types of tears:
1. First-degree Tear(vaginal mucosa torn)
2. Tear in the second degree(perineal muscle torn)
3. Third – Degree Tear(anal sphinter)
4. Fourth – Degree Tear(rectum torn)
5. Button – Tear in the Hole
Cont….

8. Perineal trauma is extremely frequent during childbirth, occurring
in approximately 40% of women during their first delivery and
about 20% in subsequent deliveries. Any laceration that extends
beyond the perineal skin and subcutaneous tissue must be
considered an obstetric problem.
Genital injury during delivery may occur accidentally as a laceration
or on purpose as an episiotomy Between 30 and 85 percent of
pregnant women experience trauma, which may result in
Perineal pain, incontinence, sexual difficulties, and other short-
and long-term morbidity varying degrees of functional
impairment.

Need of The Study

9. On a global scale, Australia ranks well when it comes to conducting
episiotomies, given that the United States' episiotomy rate is
presently at 35%. In some Latin American countries, as well as
Taiwan, an episiotomy is routinely performed on all first-time
mothers, with rates surpassing 90%.

17. I-Studies Related To Perineal Tear:
 Aasheim V, Nilsen AB (2017) was conducted a review on
published and unpublished randomized and quasi- randomized to
assess the effect of perineal techniques during the second stage of
labour on the incidence of perineal trauma.
 The study included 8 trials involving 11,651 randamised women .The
result of the study revealed that there was a significant effect of
warm compresses on reduction of third and fourth degree tears (risk
ratio (RR) 0.48, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.28 to 0.84 (two
studies, 1525 women)).
 There was also a significant effect towards favouring massage vs
hands off to reduce third and fourth degree tears (RR 0.52, 95% CI
0.29 to 0.94 (two studies, 2147 women)). Hands off vs hand on
showed no effect on third and fourth degree tears, but it observed a
significant effect of hands off on reduced rate of episiotomy (RR
0.69, 95% CI 0.50 to 0.96 (two studies, 6547 women). The study
concluded that the use of warm compresses on the perineum is
associated with a decreased occurrence of perineal trauma.25

18. II. Studies Related To Prevention Of Perineal Tear
 Ma DM, Hu W, Wang YH (2017) were conducted a study on
multicentre study on the effect of moderate perineal protection
technique: a new technique for perineal management in labour. 31,249
women accepted the traditional technique were selected as control
group, and 57,056 women accepted the Moderate Perineal
Protection technique as the observation group.
 There was no significant difference in demographic characteristics between
the two groups. The perineal episiotomy rate decreased (22.913%
vs. 32.161%, p < .05), the perineal integrity significantly increased
(43.505% vs. 36.384%, p < .05) and perineal trauma reduced in the
observation group when compared to the control group (54.630% vs.
61.239% in first degree tears, and 1.826% vs. 2.340% in second degree
tears, p < .05).
 The neonatal asphyxia rate in the observation group was lower than that in
the control group (p < .05). The observation group also had a higher rate of
total satisfaction, lower VAS score for perineal pain, shorter postpartum
hospitalisation days, lower rate of postpartum urinary retention and
postpartum incontinence (p < .05). We concluded that the Moderate
Perineal Protection technique is safe, effective and worth promoting
widely.43

36. The Recommendation
 A study can be replicated on a larger sample
thereby findings can be generalized for a larger
population.
 A comparative study can be conducted to
evaluate the effectiveness of a planned teaching
programme.
 A similar study can be conducted in community
setting. An experimental study can be
undertaken with control group

maximum number of staff nurses were had
average knowledge and minimum had good
knowledge regarding prevention and
management of perineal tear.
