Brief Summary:
The study was carried out to evaluate the effect of external pressure applied to the palm on labor pain and childbirth experience.The sample of the randomized controlled study consisted of 60 nulliparous (30 in the experimental group and 30 in the control group) pregnant women who presented to Zeynep Kamil Gynecology and Pediatrics Training and Research Hospital between April and June 2020 to give birth and met the research conditions. The Descriptive Information Form, Follow-Up Form Related to Labor Action, Childbirth Experience Questionnaire (CEQ), and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) were used in data collection. During the 5-6 cm, 7-8 cm, and 9-10 cm cervical dilatation stages of the labor process, palm external pressure was applied to the pregnant women in the experimental group, while standard midwifery care was provided to the pregnant women in the control group. The VAS was applied to both groups at admission to the hospital, before and after the 5-6 cm, 7-8 cm, and 9-10 cm cervical dilatation stages, and also at the 30th minute postpartum. Data were analyzed Statistical Package for Social Sciences 24.0 program using number, percentage, mean, standard deviation, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Levene's test and independent samples t-test, one-way ANOVA test, analysis of variance, and chi-square test. In all analyses, p\<0.05 values will be considered statistically significant.
Detailed Description:
Labor pain adversely affects pregnant women's perception of the labor process and childbirth. When not taken under control, it causes pregnant women to have negative experiences about the labor process and consequently leads to a decrease in their satisfaction with childbirth. For this reason the study was carried out to evaluate the effect of external pressure applied to the palm on labor pain and childbirth experience. Hypotheses of the research; H 1 : External pressure applied to the palm during labor reduces the level of labor pain. H 1 : External pressure applied to the palm during labor increases the positive birth experience.
