Methods: According to the order of admission, 74 elderly women were divided into the control group and the observation group. In addition to the routine perinatal nursing interventions, the observation group strengthened the implementation of midwives’ psychological nursing interventions. The duration of labor, mode of delivery, psychological state, and stress response indexes of the two groups were analyzed and compared. Results: The observation group had a shorter duration of all labor stages and total duration of labor than the control group, a lower cesarean section rate than the control group, and a higher degree of improvement in anxiety, depression, and stress response indexes in the 3-day postpartum period as compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The implementation of midwife psychological care intervention in perinatal care of elderly women can further shorten the duration of labor, reduce the cesarean section rate, and improve the psychological state and stress indicators, which is worth promoting.
