There will be no intervention in the control group other than routine midwifery care. Research data will be collected with the Pregnant Introduction and Birth Process Follow-up Form, Visual Analog Scale, and Visual Similarity Scale for Fatigue.

Description:

Design and Settings: This randomized controlled experimental study will conducted in the delivery room of the, Turkey between the dates of November 2023 and April 2024

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	severity of labor pain by VAS	Visual Analog Scale: The scale features a 10-cm long vertical line, with 0 at the bottom end and 10 at the top end	immediately after intervention
Primary	Visual Similarity Scale for Fatigue	The scale consists of two subscales, fatigue and energy, and 18 items. There are 10 cm long horizontal lines with positive expressions at one end and negative expressions at the other end of the YIBGS. While the items of the fatigue subscale progress from positive to negative, the energy subscale has the opposite order. The lowest score obtained from the fatigue subscale is 0 and the highest score is 130. In the energy subscale, scores range from 0 to 50.	immediately after intervention
