Primary | A maternal information form | This form consisted of 13 items asking for the participants' sociodemographic characteristics | before birth | |
Primary | Visual Analog Scale for Pain (VASP) | This scale is a 0-10 cm ruler developed by Bond and Pilowsky (Hawker et al., 2011; Aslan and Öztürk, 2014; Kömürcü and Ergin, 2014; Bond and Pilowsky, 1996). VASP is a 10 cm ruler which assessment with "no pain" at one end and "worst pain" at the other end. A Turkish validity and reliability study of the VASP was performed by Aslan and Öztürk (Aslan and Öztürk, 2014; Kömürcü and Ergin, 2014; Aslan, 2004). | Evaluation was done until delivery (on average between 8-12 hours) | |
Primary | Postpartum Comfort Questionnaire (PPCQ) | The 48-item General Comfort Scale, developed by Kolcaba (Kolcaba, 1994), was first adapted into Turkish in 2008 by Kuguoglu and Karabacak, who also conducted a Turkish validity and reliability study on the scale (Kuguoglu and Karabacak, 2008). Based on the Turkish version of the GCS, Karakaplan and Yildiz (Karakaplan and Yildiz, 2010) developed the PPCQ. The PPCQ is a 5-point questionnaire with 34 items. Participants give items between 1 (strongly agree) and 5 points (strongly disagree). The lowest score possible is 34, and the highest score is 170, with higher scores indicating higher comfort levels. | 2 hours after birth | |
Primary | Evalution labour pain | VASP was evaluated before and after acupressure and shower applications. | Evaluation was done until delivery (on average between 8-12 hours) | |
