Detailed description

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of using peanut balls during labor on labor memory, labor satisfaction, labor length, and neonatal APGAR scores. This randomized, controlled, single-blind trial was conducted in 156 primiparous pregnant women (peanut ball group n=78, control group n=78) who delivered between March 2024 and October 2024.
