Clinical Trial Description

vSupporting the woman with massage during the labor process reduces the severity of pain, provides general relaxation and reduces anxiety. The application of spousal massage for supportive care to the woman during the labor process can provide important positive results in terms of providing both physical and emotional support. A positive perception of birth can be strengthened by meeting women's needs at a higher level. This may contribute to effective pain management, reduction of anxiety in women, improvement of birth outcomes and positive neonatal health outcomes. When the literature is examined, it has been determined that the scope and number of studies examining the effect of partner massage in labor on pain, anxiety and birth process is very limited, and there is no study on the subject in the national literature. ;
