In recent years, fathers have become increasingly involved in research, but research on fathers still lags behind research on mothers. During the transition to parenthood, a complex network of relationships emerges between father, mother and baby. During the process of becoming parents, mothers and fathers begin to bond with their unborn children. The prenatal period is hypothesized to be predictive of later postnatal attachment and perception of parenting. Paternal involvement at birth is associated with positive child health outcomes and parental well-being.
Vaginal examination contains many negative emotions such as pain, fear, stress, and discomfort for women. When the literature was examined, no study was found in which the focus method was used to reduce or eliminate the feelings that cause negative emotions in women in the vaginal examination experience. For this reason, our research will be a first in the literature and it is thought that it will contribute to the field. In this context, it is assumed that the focusing behavior based on the door control theory will reduce the pain level of primiparous women who will have a vaginal examination for the first time in labor, positively affect the vaginal examination experience and experience a positive birth. In the research; Ho hypothesis: Focus has no effect on the vaginal examination experience of pregnant women. Hypothesis H1: Focus has an impact on the vaginal examination experience of pregnant women. Ho hypothesis: Focus has no effect on vaginal examination pain level of pregnant women. Hypothesis H1: Focus has an effect on the vaginal examination pain level of pregnant women. It was aimed to examine the effect of focusing on the first vaginal examination experience and pain level of primiparous women in labor by establishing hypotheses.
Background: Reducing the perception of labour pain is important to reduce the negative consequences of labour pain and to increase women's satisfaction with the birth experience. Two-dimensional (2D) images (Stereogram) that create the three-dimensional (3D) perception in the mind may be effective in reducing the perception of labour pain. Objectives: This study is conducted for purpose of determining the effect of focus on the birth-specific stereogram cards (BSSC), on perception of labour pain. Methods: This research is an experimental prospective randomized controlled clinical study. The research was conducted at the delivery room of a state hospital in Istanbul. Pregnant women, who agreed to participate in the study and met the study criteria, were included in the study, as 30 ones were in the experimental group (BSSC group) and 30 ones were in the control group. The Pregnancy Data Form, State Anxiety Scale, BSSC, • PRS Review Comments Visual Analog Scale(VAS), Postpartum Data Form were used as data collection tools. The BSSC in birth are designed by researchers and are created using the stereogram creator program. BSSC's 10 cards set with different patterns and silhouettes on the background. The analyses were performed, using SPSS software version 20. KEY WORDS: Birth, Labour pain, Birth-specific stereogram cards, Stereogram card, Focus on birth.
Introduction: Breastfeeding is not just a physiological event. Psychological and emotional factors affect breastfeeding. Motivation is also among these factors. For this reason, it should be considered that there will be problems with breastfeeding in the postpartum period. Since breastfeeding education can be a solution to these problems, it can increase the motivation of mothers for breastfeeding. Purpose: To examine the effect of online breastfeeding education on breastfeeding motivation. Methods: The type of the study was planned as a prospective, randomized controlled experimental study with pretest-posttest control group. The sample group of the research will be reached at Pamukkale University Obstetrics and Gynecology clinic and online via social media. The sample reached will be trained in the online environment. The research will be carried out between February 2022 and December 2022. A total of 50 people, 25 in the experimental group and 25 in the control group, will be included. Evaluation will be made with the Breastfeeding motivation scale (for primiparous mothers). Motivation scores will be compared before and after the training.
Today, pregnancy and childbirth are important life events that involve many difficulties and changes that must be overcome for both men and women. During this process, changes occur in the pregnant woman's body, emotional state and family life. These changes often cause pregnant women to experience anxiety about the baby's health and their own health, and to create new stressful situations. Adding the pandemic conditions to this situation further complicates the process and it is seen that the fears of women towards the birth and postpartum period will increase even more. Childbirth preparation classes reduce the fear and anxiety of women and create a positive perception of birth. For this reason, it is more important to give birth preparation education to women during in pregnancy during the pandemic period. However, it is not possible to give face-to-face birth preparation education to women in this process. For this reason, the aim of this study is to examine the effect of online childbirth preparation education in pregnancy on worries and fear of birth, preparation for birth, and well-being of self and baby in the Covid 19 pandemic. The research is a pre-post test randomized controlled experimental study. The block randomization method will be used. The universe of the research will consist of women who applied to Pamukkale University Research and Application Hospital pregnant outpatient clinic, and have a healthy pregnancy at 24-34 weeks of gestation. The education will be done online. The sample size was calculated in the G*power statistics program using the data of a study in which the childbirth preparation education intervention was previously performed (α =0.05, d=1.05). Accordingly, it was found that 16 people should be taken for each group to sampling for 80% power. Considering that there might be losses, the number of samples was increased by 10% and it was planned to include a total of 36 people in the study. Intention-to-treat analysis will be performed to manage bias and losses.
Introduction: Today it is seen that women lose their birthing strength, give the control to healthcare personnel during labour and the rate of c-section or interventional labour is increasing. For this reason, the importance of yoga, meditation and breath awareness practices increases during pregnancy and birth. The study was carried out as a randomized control trial with the purpose of examining the impact of yoga and meditation during pregnancy and labour on the labour process. Methods: The study was completed with 90 primiparous pregnant women in total, 30 in experimental group and 60 in control group. The data was collected using State Trait Anxiety Inventory, Wijma Delivery Expectancy/Experience Questionnaire A, The Childbirth Self-Efficacy Scale Short Form, Wijma Delivery Expectancy/Experience Questionnaire Version B and Visual Analogue Scale. Pregnant women in experimental group did yoga and meditation for 60 minutes 2 times a week for 10 weeks. Innatal period yoga and meditation practices were continued in experimental group during labour.
Aim: This study was conducted to determine the effect of showing images of the fetus to the pregnant women with the virtual reality glass during labor process on labor pain, birth perception and anxiety level. Background: Virtual reality (VR) is an effective and inexpensive method that allows the creation of simulated scenarios in which it interacts with the virtual environment with multisensory stimuli. Methods: This is a randomized controlled experimental study. The study included 100 pregnant women of whom 50 in the intervention group and 50 in the control group. Ultrasound images of the fetus were recorded on the 28th week of pregnancy of the women in the intervention group. These images were shown to the women with the virtual reality glass during labor process. Routine procedures were carried out for the women in the control group. The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was applied to both groups when cervical dilatation was 4 cm and 9 cm. The Women's Perception for the Scale of Supportive Care Given During Labor (POBS) and the Perinatal Anxiety Screening Scale (PASS) were applied almost two hours after labor. Keywords: Virtual reality, labor, pain, anxiety.
