Clinical Trial Summary

Pregnant women who are in the process of labor need physical and emotional support of health professionals in issues such as coping with labor pain, relieving fear and anxiety, and experiencing positive birth. The fact that labor dance includes components such as upright posture, pelvic movement, touch, massage provides both physical and emotional support to the pregnant woman. The aim of the study is to examine the effect of labor dance applied to pregnant women in the first stage of birth on labor pain, anxiety, birth time and maternal satisfaction at birth.


Description:

The study was planned in randomized controlled experimental type. The pregnant women will be followed in single rooms. The information about how to apply the labor dance to the pregnant women in the experimental group will be explained by the researcher in the latent phase of birth and will be shown practically. Pregnant women in the experimental group will be given labor dance with music every hour until the cervical opening starts from 3 cm (latent phase) and the cervical opening reaches 8 cm. Pregnant women will musically choose one of Acemaşiran Authority, Rehavi Authority and Farid Farjad's Thin Rose of My Idea. The researcher and pregnant women will perform a labor dance with the music for 15 minutes per hour. The researcher and the pregnant will hold each other's hands (3-4 steps distance), stand opposite each other and perform pelvic tilt together. When the pregnant woman desires or has contractions, the researcher will massage the waist and sacrum area with a ball massage glove. Details of the application and birth (such as dance time, birth time, contractions) will be recorded by the researcher. Pregnant women will be followed by the doctor, midwife and researcher during the tram, birth and first four hours postpartum. Ball Massage Glove Used in Mechanical Massage Application It consists of nine metal balls with a diameter of 1.5 cm that can rotate 360 degrees. With its glove design and ergonomic structure, it can be easily applied to any area. By concentrating directly on the massage points, it can be used more effectively on all points of the body. Since it is made of silicone material, it does not harm the hand and the area to be massaged while massaging. (Information taken from introductory guide).

Primary Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) VAS is used to measure perceived pain. The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) is a 10 cm line with anchor statements on lower end (no pain) and on upper end (extreme pain). The pregnant women is asked to mark their current pain level on the line. During labor assessed up to 12 hours
Primary State Anxiety Scale The scale consists of 20 items. The emotions or behaviors expressed in the articles are according to the degree of feeling the situation in which the individual is; It is answered by marking one of the options such as (1) none, (2) a little, (3) much, (4) completely.

The total raw score is the lowest 43 and the highest 215. As the total score obtained from the scale increases, the level of satisfaction of mothers with the care they receive in the hospital during normal delivery increases. within the first 4 hours postpartum
