Designed to support physiologic labor, enhance the birth experience, and strengthen patient-centered care, Practices to Improve Labor Comfort & Communication equips nurses with practical strategies they can apply immediately in clinical practice.

Created with input from nurses and in partnership with the International Childbirth Education Association (ICEA), this eCourse reflects current evidence-based maternity care practices and promotes respectful, family-centered labor and birth care.
