Abstract

Maternal position is one of the most important factors to be considered during Non-Stress Test (NST). It should be a part of practice guidelines, where the appropriate maternal position reduces test-related errors and false-positive results. This study aimed to investigate the effect of different maternal positions during NST on maternal hemodynamic parameters, satisfaction, and fetal Cardiotocographic (CTG) pattern. A quasi-experimental research design was conducted at NST clinic, outpatient department/ Maternal and Children hospital at Najran city, Saudi Arabia. The study comprised a convenience sample of 118 low-risk pregnant women in their third trimester of pregnancy. Data was collected from January to June 2020. All women were assessed in the three different positions; supine, left lateral, and semi-fowler position concerning CTG pattern, maternal hemodynamic parameters, and satisfaction. The study results indicated a higher Fetal Heart Rate (FHR), increased accelerations, and fetal movement in the left lateral position, followed by a semi-fowler position compared to the supine position with statistically significant differences. No statistically significant differences (P>0.05) were observed regarding FHR variability and NST reactivity in the three positions. In addition, there were statistically significant differences (P
