Abstract To investigate the effect of free position combined with delivery ball used during delivery of women, and to study its influence on the pregnancy outcomes and the neonates of the women. Methods: 82 women were randomly divided into two groups (41 cases in each group) from January 2020 to April 2023. The women in the study group were given free position combined with ball delivery during delivery, and the women in the control group were given routine midwifery protocol. The delivery model, the duration of labor, the anxiety, the pain, the self-efficacy, and the different pregnancy outcomes of the women were compared between the two groups. Results: The natural delivery rate (90.2%) of the women in the study group was significantly higher than that (68.3%) of the women in the control group. The cesarean section rate (2.4%) of the women in the study group was significantly lower than that (19.5%) of the women in the control group. The duration of labor, and the scores of visual analogue scale anxiety (VAS-A), existing pain intensity index (PPI) scale, visual analogue scale (VAS), and pain rating index (PRI) scale of the women in the study group were significantly lower than those of the women in the control group. The total score of delivery selfefficacy (103.15±5.73 points) of the women in the study group was significantly higher than that (82.99±8.28 points) of the women in the control group. The postpartum hemorrhage rate (0) of the women in the study group was significantly lower than that (12.2%) of the women in the control group, and the neonatal Apgar score (9.8±0.1 points) in the study group was significantly higher than that (9.1±0.1 points) in the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusion: The free position combined with delivery ball used during delivery of the women can significantly improve their rate of natural delivery, shorten their duration of labor, and reduce their anxiety and other adverse emotions, and which is conducive to improving the self-efficacy and pregnancy outcomes and to promoting the postpartum recovery of the women.
