Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of using peanut balls during labor on labor memory, labor satisfaction, labor length, and neonatal APGAR scores.


Description:

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of using peanut balls during labor on labor memory, labor satisfaction, labor length, and neonatal APGAR scores. This randomized, controlled, single-blind trial was conducted in 156 primiparous pregnant women (peanut ball group n=78, control group n=78) who delivered between March 2024 and October 2024. Pregnant women in the peanut ball group were instructed to perform movements with the peanut ball after cervical dilation reached 4 cm. The control group received only standard intrapartum midwifery care. Data were collected by personal information form, labor and postpartum follow-up form (APGAR score, etc.), Birth Memory and Recall Scale 4 hours after delivery, and Birth Satisfaction Scales.
