Positioning techniques is one of the methods which is recommended to turn Breech presentation into cephalic presentation. This study was performed with aim to determine the effect of Knee-chest position on Breech presentation turning to cephalic presentation in Pregnant women. Methods: This randomized clinical trial was conducted on 84 Pregnant women with Breech presentation and gestational age of 34-36 years referred to health centers of Mashhad in 2016-2017. The subjects were randomly divided into intervention and control groups. The intervention group, in addition to routine prenatal care, performed Knee-chest position for 10-15 minutes for ten days, three times daily. The control group received routine care. The data collection tool was personal characteristics and midwifery information form, recording the mother's Knee-chest position, and follow-up form. The fetus presentation was screened immediately after intervention and during delivery in both groups. Data were analyzed using SPSS software (version 23), independent t-test, Chi-square, Fisher exact test, Mann-Whitney test and logistic regression. P < 0. 05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The results of logistic regression showed that immediately after the intervention, the mothers of the intervention group had 3. 8 times of the chances of fetus presentation turning to cephalic than the women in the control group (confidence interval: 1. 467-16. 415, OR=3. 8, P=0. 01). Also, this chance was 3. 43 times during delivery (confidence interval: 1. 095-10. 745, OR=3. 43, P=0. 034). Conclusion: The mother’ s Knee-chest positioning can turn Breech presentation to cephalic. Therefore, it is recommended to use this position along with other prenatal care for qualified mothers in health care centers.
